| Abstract [eng] |
This review concerns the volume Metaphor Identification in Multiple Languages. MIPVU around the world, edited by Susan Nacey, Aletta G. Dorst, Tina Krennmayr and W. Gudrun Reijnierse, published by John Benjamins Publishing Company, Amsterdam & Philadelphia, 2019. The entire volume consists of 15 chapters, a section called “About the authors” and an index. Chapter 1, 2 and 3 are of an introductory and encompassing character, displaying what MIP and MIPVU are by briefly presenting intentions, purpose and methodology of MIP and MIPVU. The chapters 4 through 14 take different languages as subjects to present and discuss questions and issues related to ways of how to apply the basic settings of MIPVU (and partially of MIP) to those languages, especially concerning the identification of linguistic metaphors. Chapter 15 serves to summarize the most recently documented status of MIPVU in metaphor identification research. |
