Summary

<span class='bold'>Chapter Preview</span>

By combining three complementary perspectives, the present chapter goes beyond previous treatments of figurative language in general and of conceptual metaphor in particular. Besides viewing metaphor in terms of the basic cognitive processes underlying it, it also investigates how metaphor combines with other metaphors and with metonymy and in what way it is related to other cases of figurative meaning construction. The present chapter paves the way toward an encompassing theory of meaning construction that employs a highly restricted set of principles to account for a broader range of phenomena than previous accounts have done.
