Metaphors, Culture and Symbols: Sports Metaphors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798512244371)

As a young immigrant a couple of decades ago in the United States, I faced many challenges, with cultural assimilation being one of the primary ones. I had promised to myself at the time that I would make this process easier for others. This e-book is a fulfillment of that promise and will hopefully help others navigate sports metaphors or bring awareness to how overwhelming they can be for non-native speakers. It covers sports related metaphors for baseball, football and boxing with specific examples of usage in everyday and corporate life. There are also cricket related metaphors as a tribute to the country where I was born and raised, India.
