| One motive for me to write this book comes from the realization that the cognitive theories,the cognitive and social theories on metaphors in particular,have not been fully discussed in a single volume of a book.My effort in writing this book will benefit the readers who are interested in the field,and cater for their curiosity for the latest theories of cognitive linguistics on metaphors. Another imporant reason for me to start this book is my desire to elaborate the interrelationships of the existing theories,in the hope of sharing with the readers a better understanding of the theories in the study of metaphors and cognitive linguistics as well as the working principles of the theories and the terminologies relating to them. |
