Drawing on different research methodologies, including corpus linguistics, elicitation techniques, and interviews, chapters analyse a variety of naturalistic data and text types, such as online language, narratives, political speeches and literary works. Examining both the cultural conceptualisations underlying the use of figurative language and the linguistic-cultural specificity of metaphor and its variation, the studies are presented in contexts of both language contact and second language usage. Adding to the debate on the interplay of universal and culture-specific grounding of conceptual metaphor, \u003ci\u003eMetaphor in Language and Culture across World Englishes\u003c\/i\u003eadvances research in a previously neglected sphere of study in the field of World Englishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Callies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350157538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350157538\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Marcus Callies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43943340278015,"sku":"9781350157538","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ef89dd34-afbf-44e1-ba82-397f01be3fba.jpg?v=1681497566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphor-in-language-and-culture-marcus-callies-9781350157538","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
