Sinopse

Metaphor Function explores the profound impact of metaphor, arguing it's not just a linguistic tool but a fundamental cognitive mechanism shaping our understanding of the world. The book reveals how metaphors influence thought processes, allowing us to grasp abstract concepts by relating them to concrete experiences. Interestingly, different cultures employ unique metaphorical systems, encoding their values and beliefs within language.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the cognitive theory of metaphor and its influence on reasoning. It then examines the cultural variability of metaphor, drawing on linguistic and ethnographic studies. Finally, it focuses on the application of metaphor in literary creation, demonstrating how authors use metaphorical language to evoke emotions and convey complex themes.

 
This interdisciplinary approach, connecting cognitive science, cultural studies, and communication studies, provides a holistic understanding of metaphor's multifaceted functions in meaning and communication. The book avoids overly technical jargon, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in Language Arts and Philosophy. By understanding conceptual metaphor, readers can enhance critical thinking skills and foster cultural understanding.

    Bonjour et bienvenue 😊🇫🇷 
My name is Kieran, and I’ve been teaching foreign languages for over eighteen years. I love languages, I love learning and I love teaching. I also love chocolate, but this isn’t really the place to discuss my chocoholism! 
I created 3 Minute French as a way to make learning French easier than ever before and accessible to anybody, especially people who have tried and failed in the past. My course is perfect for the complete beginner as I break down the French language into tiny chunks that I show you how to build back together again in a logical, simple-to-understand way. You can go from knowing no French at all to putting together your own sentences in just a few minutes. 
The words and phrases that you'll learn in this course will be useful to you in any French-speaking country. A lot of traditional language courses either start by teaching you an endless list of pronunciation rules, or you learn phrases that aren't too useful for the beginner, such as how to talk about your family or your job. In 3 Minute French, you'll learn the most useful words first. As well as vocabulary, there are some useful grammar points that will be explained to you in bitesized chunks. You'll then be given plenty of opportunities to put them into practice. 
You'll also be given two Vocabulary Expansion Sheets, which are documents full of useful vocabulary in specific topics ('food & drink' and 'numbers'). These Vocabulary Expansion Sheets give a boost to your French and help to improve your comprehension.
