- Summary:
- This collection represents a fresh perspective on metaphorical language used in the media nowadays and will inform and captivate both the general reader and the specialist. It explores the fascinating facets of metaphor use in journals and films, and, given the mediatic tendencies of manipulative framings of reality, offers fresh insights into how figurative language works in the media nowadays may be useful in order to educate audiences and train their decoding abilities in order to avoid being misled and biased.Its complexity and wide array of perspectives would make this book a must-read for anyone genuinely interested in achieving a broader picture of the field, from undergraduate students of English language and linguists to people working in the media.
