Metapher und Metonymie : theoretische, methodische und empirische Zugänge

The contributions of this volume examine the phenomena of metaphor and metonymy from different perspectives. They adopt current tendencies in metaphor and metonymy research, discuss theoretical and methodological questions based on empirical analyses, and outline new approaches in both single-language and cross-linguisic research.

This series takes account of the fact that empirical approaches based on qualitative or quantitative methods of corpus linguistics have become a central paradigm within linguistics. Usage-based approaches can be found on all linguistic levels, ranging from phonological and prosodic studies to those in the fields of morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics (the latter is especially prolific with, for example, discourse analysis, text linguistics or conversation analysis) as well as sociolinguistics and the analysis of media and computer-mediated communication. The series intends to offer a thematically open platform for different approaches within synchronous linguistics as well as for interdisciplinary works with a linguistic focus which devise new ways of working empirically and which intend to develop new data-based methods and theoretical models for empirical linguistic analyses.Both monographs and edited volumes with a synchronous empirical approach are published. The publication language is either German or English. All submissions are peer-reviewed.

Metaphern und Metonymien sind Phänomene, die unser Denken, Sprechen und Handeln bestimmen und sich u.a. sprachlich manifestieren. Im Hinblick auf die Analyse von Metaphern und Metonymien sind gegenwärtig Tendenzen zu beobachten, die die Phänomene nicht mehr ausschließlich aus kognitiver Perspektive betrachten, da eine ausschließlich kognitive Beschreibung von Metaphern und Metonymien zu kurz greift. Stattdessen werden integrative und interdisziplinäre Ansätze verfolgt, die empirisch orientiert sind und neben kognitiven vor allem soziopragmatische, historische oder sprachvergleichende Aspekte in die Analyse integrieren. Der Sammelband greift diese aktuellen Tendenzen auf. Auf der Basis empirischer Untersuchungen von Metaphern und Metonymien sowohl aus einzelsprachlicher, sprachvergleichender und interdisziplinärer Perspektive werden in den einzelnen Beiträgen theoretische und methodische Fragestellungen diskutiert sowie neue Perspektiven der Forschung eröffnet.
