"The creative potentiality of metaphor is one of the central themes in research on creativity. The present volume offers a space for the interdisciplinary discussion of the relationship between metaphor and creativity by focusing on (re)contextualization across modes and socio-cultural contexts and on the performative dimension of creative discourse practices. The volume brings together insights from Conceptual Metaphor Theory, (Critical) Discourse approaches to metaphor and Multimodal discourse analysis. Creativity as a process is explored in how it emerges in the flow of experience when talking about or reacting to creative acts such as dance, painting or music, and in subjects' responses to advertisements in experimental studies. Creativity as product is explored by analyzing the choice, occurrence and patterning of creative metaphors in various types of (multimodal and multisensorial) discourses such as political cartoons, satire, films, children's storybooks, music and songs, videos, scientific discourse, architectural reviews and the performance of classical Indian rasa"--

"Intersubjectivity and usage play central roles in figurative language and are pivotal notions for a cognitively realistic research on figures of thought, speech, and communication. This volume brings together thirteen studies that explore the relationship between figurativity, intersubjectivity and usage from the Cognitive Linguistics perspective. The studies explore the impact of figurativity on areas of lexicon and grammar, on real discourse, and across different semiotic systems. Some studies focus on the psychological processes of the comprehension of figurativity; other studies address the ways in which figures of thought and language are socially shared and the variation of figures through time and space. Moreover, some contributions are established on advanced corpus-based techniques and experimental methods. There are studies about metaphor, metonymy, irony and puns; about related processes, such as humor, empathy and ambiguation; and about the interaction between figures. Overall, this volume offers the advantages and the opportunities of an interactional and usage-based perspective of figurativity, embracing both the psychological and the intersubjective reality of figurative thought and language and empirically emphasizing the multidimensional character of figurativity, its central function in thought, and its impact on everyday communication"--

Une des caractéristiques de ce début de siècle réside dans l’importance insolite qu’a prise le sport au sein des activités humaines au plan ludique, performatif, hygiénique, éducatif. La chronique sportive rythme aujourd’hui l’actualité et les « stars » du stade éclipsent, pour nombre de nos contemporains, celles des écrans, de la chanson, du monde politique, économique… Élément essentiel du monde actuel, les pratiques sportives constituent depuis peu un terrain d’étude riche et varié. Longtemps point aveugle des historiens du contemporain, l’histoire du sport permet de relier les Français et un pan de leur mémoire. Expliquer rétrospectivement le passé proche permet d’entrevoir un avenir possible. Chapitre après chapitre, on découvrira les trajectoires biographiques innovantes de quelques grandes figures emblématiques régionales (Carpentier, Wachmar, Lagrange, Debeyre, Beulque…) qui ont favorisé l’enracinement septentrional du sport et de l’éducation physique.

"This volume brings together twelve usage-based studies conducted by leading researchers in language and cognition that explore core issues of figurativeness from the Cognitive Linguistics perspective. The individual chapters reveal the central function of figurativeness in thought and its impact on language. Cognition relies on knowledge-structuring tools in the construction of meaning both mentally and linguistically. Collectively, the chapters delve into an array of topics that are crucial to future research in figurative meaning construction, especially on questions of identification and structure of figures, the figurative motivation of constructions, the impact of figurativeness on pragmatic and multimodal communication, and the correlation between figures and cognitive models"--
