Figurative Language, Genre and Register brings together discourse analysis and corpus linguistics in a cutting-edge study of figurative language in spoken and written discourse. The authors explore a diverse range of communities from chronic pain sufferers to nursery staff to present a detailed framework for the analysis of figurative language. The reader is shown how figurative language is used between members of these communities to construct their own 'world view', and how this can change with a shift in perspective. Figurative language is shown to be pervasive and inescapable, but it is also suggested that it varies significantly across genres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Deignan, Jeannette Littlemore, Elena Semino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107402034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107402034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Alice Deignan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526217715967,"sku":"9781107402034","price":72.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0795a49-7b74-49b4-bf33-1d290c1033f9.jpg?v=1737555533","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/figurative-language-genre-and-register-alice-deignan-9781107402034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
