This comprehensive volume delves into the persuasive impact of metaphor in climate change discourse, unveiling the intricate ways in which stakeholders employ specific metaphors to shape perceptions of the climate crisis. While previous research has examined the explanatory role of metaphors in communication about climate change, this book presents a fresh perspective, suggesting that metaphors can transcend the mere transmission of scientific facts to propagate biases in the portrayal of these observations. Augé conducts a thorough analysis of commonly used concepts in climate change communication, drawing from a diverse corpus encompassing media discourse, scientific discourse, NGO communications, political speeches, and social media messages in English. The book offers a comprehensive overview of various arguments conveyed through metaphors across five key themes: climate change mitigation, the evolution of climate change, global and local effects, the significance of climate change in specific countries, and the relationship between climate change and other contemporary social issues. The volume underscores the necessity of metaphor in navigating the complexity of climate change and highlights the value of further research to elucidate the ideological dimensions of metaphor in climate crisis discourse.
This book will appeal to scholars engaged in discourse analysis, corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and environmental communication.
