It analyses how and why fire metaphors are used in discourses of awe (mythology and religion) and authority (political speeches and media reports).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFire serves as a productive and salient lexical field for metaphors that seek to create awe and impose authority. These metaphors offer a rich linguistic and conceptual resource for authors of mythologies, theologies, literature, speeches and journalism, and provide insight into the rich interplay of thought, language and culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the purpose of fire metaphors in genres ranging from the Norse sagas to religious texts, from Shakespeare to British and American political speeches. Ultimately it arrives at an understanding of the rhetorical work that metaphor accomplishes in communicating evaluations and ideologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Charteris-Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350070092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350070097\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Jonathan Charteris-Black","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213155496191,"sku":"9781350070097","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55a5fca8-9080-42bd-b127-b775be38c056.jpg?v=1692112371","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fire-metaphors-jonathan-charteris-black-9781350070097","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
