Rate 0.0 /5

"The author provides a detailed critique and analysis of prior theories of metaphor, many of which are implicitly circular. He shows how the theory he proposes incorporates the principal insights of prior theories while avoiding the problem of circularity, and illustrates his points with detailed analyses of examples from previous studies of metaphor as well as new and fresh examples drawn from contemporary culture."--Jacket.
