Metaphoric language is very much the product of human action, and many scholars now claim that metaphor in language arises from metaphors in thought. But the reasons for why we think metaphorically and speak (gesture) in these ways may be rooted in principles of self-organization that describe the existence, and forms, of many other animate and inanimate things, ranging from snowflakes to termite nests. This chapter describes the benefits of looking at metaphor from a self-organizational point of view, known as dynamical systems theory, and suggests how this perspective can solve several long-

Metaphor and Thought, first published in 1979, reflects the surge of interest in and research into the nature and function of metaphor in language and thought. In this revised and expanded second edition, the editor has invited the contributors to update their original essays to reflect any changes in their thinking. Reorganised to accommodate the shifts in central theoretical issues, the volume also includes six new chapters that present important and influential fresh ideas about metaphor that have appeared in such fields as the philosophy of language and the philosophy of science, linguistics, cognitive and clinical psychology, education and artificial intelligence.

This book presents a complete method for the identification of metaphor in language at the level of word use. It is based on extensive methodological and empirical corpus-linguistic research in two languages, English and Dutch. The method is formulated as an explicit manual of instructions covering one chapter, the method being a development and refinement of the popular MIP procedure presented by the Pragglejaz Group in 2007. The extended version is called MIPVU, as it was developed at VU University Amsterdam. Its application is demonstrated in five case studies addressing metaphor in English news texts, conversations, fiction, and academic texts, and Dutch news texts and conversations. Two methodological chapters follow reporting a series of successful reliability tests and a series of post hoc troubleshooting exercises. The final chapter presents a first empirical analysis of the findings, and shows what this type of methodological attention can mean for research and theory.

Dans la métaphore, on voit ordinairement un usage particulier, “ figuratif ”, du langage, propre à la poésie et à la rhétorique. Lakoff et Johnson critiquent ce point de vue ; ils montrent que notre langage tout entier, dans son usage le plus quotidien et terre à terre, est traversé par la métaphore. Il y a des aspects fondamentaux de notre expérience dont nous ne pouvons pas ne pas parler de façon métaphorique, tout simplement parce que les concepts au moyen desquels nous appréhendons ces aspects de l’expérience sont d’emblée métaphoriques. Il y a métaphore, selon Lakoff et Johnson, lorsque nous appréhendons quelque chose – un aspect de la réalité – en termes d’autre chose. L’étude minutieuse de notre langage quotidien révèle que nous traitons le temps sur le modèle de l’espace, la discussion sur le modèle de la guerre, etc. Ces métaphores (largement culturelles) ne sont pas de simples façons de parler : elles sont constitutives de notre pensée, de notre expérience du monde, et informent ce que nous appelons la “ réalité ”.

The Spatial Language of Time presents a crosslinguistically valid state-of-the-art analysis of space-to-time metaphors, using data mostly from English and Wolof (Africa) but additionally from Japanese and other languages. Metaphors are analyzed in terms of their most direct motivation by basic human experiences (Grady 1997a; Lakoff & Johnson 1980). This motivation explains the crosslinguistic appearance of certain metaphors, but does not say anything about temporal metaphor systems that deviate from the types documented here. Indeed, we observe interesting culture- and language-specific
