Far from being rhetorical ornaments, metaphors play a central role in public discourse, as they shape the structure of political categorisation and argumentation. Drawing on a very large bilingual corpus, this book, now in paperback, analyses the distribution of 'metaphor scenarios' in more than a decade of public discourse on European integration, elucidating differences in UK and German attitudes and argumentation. The corpus analysis leads to a refinement of cognitive metaphor theory by systematically relating conceptual, semantic and argumentation levels and incorporating the historical dimension of metaphor evolution. Finally, drawing on examples of metaphor negotiation and on a reassessment of Hobbes' concept of metaphor in Leviathan, the book highlights the ethical dimension of metaphor in politics.

In The Power of Anology, Dieter Wanner argues for reinstating historical linguistics, especially in (morpho-)syntax, as constitutive of any theoretical account of language. In the first part, he provides a critique of some foundational concepts of an object-oriented linguistic perspective, questioning the distinction between synchrony and diachrony, dichotomous parametrization, grammaticality judgments, and formal generalization. Instead, the immanent perspective of the linguistic individual, licensed by broad cognitive functions, highlights such relegated dimensions as similarity, (surface) redundancy, frequency of form, and social and environmental conditions on language use. In the second part, Dieter Wanner relies on a systematic construct of analogy as the dynamic force enabling language, tying together acquisition, language use, and linguistic change. Such analogy is pervasive, driven by local models, and inevitably spreading through the social web of linguistic practice. The unpredictability, incompletion, and typical slowness of change thereby become the norm, while categorical closure remains a marked possibility. The framework of "Soft Syntax" spells out an operative model for syntax relying on precedence, cohesion, dependence, agreement, constructional identity, and concatenation. These six dimensions and their interplay undergo a detailed exploration of their diachronic operation and implications, applying them to typical examples taken from the history of the Romance languages. The openness of the framework enables diachronic linguistics to approach old problems in a new light and to ask new questions about the mechanics and nature of language change.

Von zahllosen anderen Veröffentlichungen zur bildlichen Rede unterscheidet sich das Studienbuch "Analogie und Metapher" in zweifacher Hinsicht: 1. Es verbindet Anregungen der antiken Rhetorik mit Errungenschaften der modernen Sprachwissenschaft und -philosophie, so daß die Entwürfe der Klassiker in ein tragfähigeres theoretisches Gerüst eingefügt werden können. 2. Es führt die verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen der bildlichen Rede auf eine gemeinsame Tiefenstruktur zurück: die Analogie, verstanden als Geltung eines gemeinsamen Beschreibungsinhalts für zwei verschiedene Gegenstände. Die Differenzierung des Analogiebegriffs - z.B. in ein- und mehrstellige sowie triviale und nicht-triviale Analogien - erweist sich als Schlüssel sowohl zum linguistischen Verständnis des Phänomens der Bildlichkeit wie auch zur Interpretation einzelner sprachlicher Bilder etwa in der Literatur. Insofern ist dieses Studienbuch sowohl für Linguisten als auch für Literaturwissenschaftler von Interesse.
