After a particularly mortifying incident, Rose escapes to the woods where she's captured by a group of otherworldly creatures.

She's the chosen one all right . . . the one who's been chosen to die.In this startlingly original fantasy, M.P.

Download or read book Variations on Metaphor written by Ilaria Rizzato and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metaphor is a fascinating and, at the same time, complex phenomenon. It can be approached from a multitude of perspectives, and the linguistic realizations of metaphors vary not only across languages, but also across text genres, cultures, and time. This book reflects such complexity and variability by gathering a collection of studies that adopt different theoretical views and explore the actual uses of metaphors in different text types (literary, folkloric, journalistic, and scientific) and languages (Hungarian, Chinese, French, English, Italian, Latin, and Ancient Greek). By providing the reader with a view of metaphor and current metaphor research which is both diversified and coherent, this volume will provide insights for cognitive linguists, scholars involved in metaphor studies, and more generally readers interested in linguistic variation.
