Metaphor and Writing: Figurative Thought in the Discourse of Written Communication
Eubanks, Philip (Northern Illinois University)
This volume explains how metaphors, metonymies, and other figures interact cognitively and rhetorically to tell us what writing is and what it should do. Original and informative, it gives scholars a fresh understanding of concepts such as 'voice', 'self', 'clarity', 'power', and the most basic figure of all: 'the writer'.
