The Role Of (Deliberate) Metaphor In Communicating Knowledge In Academic Discourse (Dask – Duisburger Arbeiten Zur Sprach- Und Kulturwissenschaft / Duisburg Papers On Research In Language And Culture)

This book features comprehensive qualitative metaphor analyses in US-American college lectures. The author shows that deliberate metaphors fulfill important communicative functions. However, the critical discussion of their identification and application demonstrates problems with 'deliberateness'.
