Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Characteristics and Laws of Figurative Language A Figure of Speech is a mode of expression in which a. Word or thing is used in an artificial manner, in order to a. More forcible presentation of thought, or the illustration and embellishment of that to which it is applied. Thus in the sentence the clouds fly - there is a figure in the use of the verb, which properly denotes the movement of a Bird or insect by its wings, but is applied by a metaphor to the clouds home forward by the wind, to express more clearly and strongly the ease and rapidity of their motion, and makes the phrase equivalent to a comparison of their movement to that of a. Bird; as in the simile - the clouds move like a bird; or they are home on as though they moved by wings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Figurative Language, Its Origin and Constitution Though now placed for the first time before the public in general, this little work is essentially a revised edition of one printed under the same title in 1850. Only a hundred copies were struck off, and these went into the hands of personal friends, excepting two or three which were presented to local libraries. One of them is in the library of the Manchester Athenaeum. This statement as to the long-ago composition is rendered necessary by the issue, during the twenty-eight years since elapsed, of writings upon language and etymology from the pens of Farrar, Wedgwood, Earle, Whitney, Trench, and preeminently Max Muller. I do not presume to say that I was in any degree the pioneer of these eminent authors: my desire is simply to show that I have not been their imitator. Neither do I presume to consider myself their rival, even afar off. On the whole they have strengthened and confirmed me in my views, especially as regards the Origin of Language. There are points, nevertheless, upon which a comparison of the various works would indicate a rather wide disagreement.

Download or read book Understanding Figurative Language written by Sam Glucksberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-07-26 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how people understand utterances that are intended figuratively. Traditionally, figurative language such as metaphors and idioms has been considered derivative from more complex than ostensibly straightforward literal language. Glucksberg argues that figurative language involves the same kinds of linguistic and pragmatic operations that are used for ordinary, literal language. Glucksberg's research in this book is concerned with ordinary language: expressions that are used in daily life, including conversations about everyday matters, newspaper and magazine articles, and the media. Metaphor is the major focus of the book. Idioms, however, are also treated comprehensively, as is the theory of conceptual metaphor in the context of how people understand both conventional and novel figurative expressions. A new theory of metaphor comprehension is put forward, and evaluated with respect to competing theories in linguistics and in psychology. The central tenet of the theory is that ordinary conversational metaphors are used to create new concepts and categories. This process is spontaneous and automatic. Metaphor is special only in the sense that these categories get their names from the best examples of the things they represent, and that these categories get their names from the best examples of those categories. Thus, the literal "shark" can be a metaphor for any vicious and predatory being, from unscrupulous salespeople to a murderous character in The Threepenny Opera. Because the same term, e.g.,"shark," is used both for its literal referent and for the metaphorical category, as in "My lawyer is a shark," we call it the dual-reference theory. The theory is then extended to two other domains: idioms and conceptual metaphors. The book presents the first comprehensive account of how people use and understand metaphors in everyday life.

Book excerpt: The competent study of law is a finely tuned balance of excellent language ability, good reading and writing skills, good personal study discipline, a thorough appreciation of the relevant areas of substantive law and excellent argumentative skills. Legal method is an important area of study for two main reasons. First, it is important for the range of techniques that it can offer to break into legal texts, both primary and secondary. Secondly, it exposes reasoning processes concerned with the theory and practise of law. The book deals in both the areas mentioned, and aims to deal with issues of.
