It is grounded in Cognitive (Socio)Linguistics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and Cultural Linguistics and draws on different research methodologies, including corpus linguistics, elicitation techniques, and interviews. The studies analyse a variety of naturalistic data and text types, such as online language, narratives, political speeches, and literary works, and examine both the cultural conceptualisations underlying the use of figurative language and the linguistic-cultural specificity of metaphor and its variation. The book also contributes to the debate on the interplay of universal and culture-specific grounding of conceptual metaphor in World Englishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350249530\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44761450610938,"sku":"9781350249530","price":32.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699624092320_book.jpg?v=1699778527","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/metaphor-in-language-and-culture-across-world-englishes-9781350249530","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
