According to the author, metaphor effects a transference of meaning, not between two terms, but between two structured domains of content, or \"semantic fields.\" Semantic fields, construed as necessary to a theory of word-meaning, provide the contrastive and affinitive relations that govern a term's literal use. In a metaphoric use, these relations are projected into a second domain which is thereby reordered with significant cognitive effects. Amply illustrated with sensitive and systematic analyses of metaphors found in literature, philosophy, science, and quotidian language, this book forges a new understanding of the relation between metaphoric and literal meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591944159383,"sku":"9780198242468","price":6816.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198242468.webp?v=1774975304","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/metaphor-its-cognitive-force-and-linguistic-structure-9780198242468","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
