Complete description
In her book Chiara Nasti analyses the distribution of metaphor scenarios and patterns in the public discourse on the European Lisbon Treaty. Her study on a specialized corpus reveals differences and/or similarities in the argumentation and attitudes of the main UK quality and popular newspapers. She summarizes the main theories and identification procedures for metaphor investigation commenting some developments in the field of metaphor studies. Following Charteris-Black's Critical Metaphor Analysis, she starts from the premises that metaphors need to be explored in the context where they occur. Her analysis in fact reveals that context investigation is useful to better understand the complexity of metaphors - their pragmatic and cognitive function - and their role in the political debate. Moreover, the analysis reveals that metaphors are useful tools for identifying stereotyped roles of the participants in the ratification process and are also functional to explore both political and journalistic attitudes towards the debate on the Lisbon Treaty.
Her book addresses readers from various academic backgrounds who are interested in linguistics, cognitive linguistics and in particular in the application of corpus linguistics to metaphor investigation. It also might be of interest to academic students dealing with the debate over the Lisbon Treaty.
