If thinking can be fast or slow, metaphorical thinking can be fast and slow too. But metaphorical thinking does not occur as often and in the ways that many metaphor scholars today think. Slow metaphorical thinking does mean, however, that we can exert more control over metaphor than has previously been acknowledged. We can even offer resistance to metaphor. Deliberate Metaphor Theory (DMT) claims that there is an essential processing difference between non-deliberate and deliberate metaphor use which can explain all this. This book is the first full account of the DMT model for metaphor comprehension. It presents explicit conceptualization and formal operationalization, and is based on a well-known cognitive-psychological model for all utterance comprehension in discourse. The original three-dimensional model of DMT is here refined into a four-dimensional model, which reveals new research questions and discoveries about the use of metaphor. The book brings together numerous cognitive-scientific insights into metaphor. It has a high degree of interdisciplinary accessibility to all students of metaphor, whether master students, PhDs, post docs, or established academics.

"Violence metaphors for cancer – such as ‘she is fighting cancer’ or ‘she lost her battle against cancer’ – are highly common in discourse about cancer. At the same time, these metaphors are controversial and contested. The present dissertation sheds novel light on the metaphors’ contentious status by conducting a close analysis of standpoints and arguments that are put forward against these metaphors in public discourse. The analysis is guided by the pragma-dialectical approach to argument analysis and approaches to metaphor analysis that are grounded in cognitive linguistics. In this dissertation, the author first examines how different types of argumentation in resistance to violence metaphors for cancer can relate to specific features of the contested metaphors. Subsequently, she examines the nature of different resistance standpoints and the dimensions of metaphor use these standpoints may be targeted at. The second part of the dissertation is focused on the analysis of arguments that are put forward against implications of violence metaphors for cancer, as well as the ways in which these implications can be countered by means of metaphor extension. Together, the dissertation’s findings demonstrate the multifacetedness of argumentative resistance against violence metaphors, and how such resistance can take different forms depending on a protagonist’s precise point of view and their arguments for objecting to a particular (property of) metaphor. Lastly, the dissertation demonstrates the value of combining theoretical and empirical knowledge on argumentation and metaphor in order to gain a better understanding of the ways in which metaphors are received and critically reflected upon."--

This book contains a selection of refereed and revised papers originally presented at the 5th ICLC. After an introduction by the editors, the book opens with a long-needed chapter on historical precedents for the Cognitive Linguistic theory of metaphor. Two chapters demonstrate the method of lexical analysis of linguistic metaphors and how it can be fruitfully applied to a characterization of the conceptual domains of smell and economics. Three chapters deal with theoretical aspects of conceptual metaphor, one of which is a commissioned chapter on the relation between conceptual metaphor theor
