{"product_id":"metaphor-meaning-and-cognition-don-ross-9780820421513","title":"Metaphor, Meaning and Cognition","description":"This book explores and offers solutions to a range of conceptual and philosophical problems that underlie attempts to understand metaphor processing in the context of cognitive science. The author vigorously criticizes the prevailing philosophical prejudice against traditional  comparison  theories of metaphor, arguing that the problems with the comparison theory are exciting problems that demand \u003ci\u003esolutions\u003c\/i\u003e, rather than grounds for rejecting the theory itself. Furthermore, it is through these problems that the study of metaphor processing is linked to wider issues in cognitive science, including disputes about computational architectures and neural mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Ross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820421510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820421513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Don Ross","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457734488319,"sku":"9780820421513","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f069066-75a1-4858-8c0a-6ad19e7fd9db.jpg?v=1777400718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metaphor-meaning-and-cognition-don-ross-9780820421513","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
