Book Description
The now-classic Metaphors We Live By changed our understanding of metaphor and its role in language and the mind. Metaphor, the authors explain, is a fundamental mechanism of mind, one that allows us to use what we know about our physical and social experience to provide understanding of countless other subjects. Because such metaphors structure our most basic understandings of our experience, they are "metaphors we live by"--metaphors that can shape our perceptions and actions without our ever noticing them.
In this updated edition of Lakoff and Johnson's influential book, the authors supply an afterword surveying how their theory of metaphor has developed within the cognitive sciences to become central to the contemporary understanding of how we think and how we express our thoughts in language.

這本書實在太有趣了啊!! 自己後來認識許多對metaphor有興趣的朋友原來都是受到這本 書的啟發... 這個領域有許多艱澀難懂的書, 但這本書不但寫得很有趣(還是metaphor本身就是有趣的題材 ?!), 也相當淺顯易懂, 是相當值得推薦的入門書。

Leggerlo ti apre una nuova prospettiva.
Ti fa capire in base a quali meccanismi la nostra mente agisce e come ne è influenzato il linguaggio.
Si scopre che parliamo e pensiamo per metafore, che viviamo immersi nelle metafore.
E' un cammino affascinante nella scoperta di alcuni meccanismi della nostra mente.E' con questo libro che ho inziato ad amare la linguistica cognitiva, tanto da farne l'argomento della mia tesi di laurea.
Non è un libro troppo tecnico.E' spiegato in modo semplice e chiunque si può avvicinare a questa scienza affascinante.
Well, what can I say about this book... Language, especially words referring to body part-aspecific events entailing evaluation and emotion is mostly about metaphors... A very crucial reference for theories based on radical embodiment...
