- Abstract
"Figuring out Figuration: A Cognitive Linguistic Account" by Peña-Cervel and Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez explores the concept of figurative language and its cognitive processes primarily manifested in language. The authors argue that metaphor and metonymy, which have received significant attention in metaphor research, should be regarded similarly to other figures of speech in understanding how our minds work. The book provides a comprehensive overview of various figures of speech, including metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole, irony, and others, and offers a framework for analyzing and understanding their cognitive and communicative implications. The authors propose new definitions for different figures of speech and explore their interdependencies. Overall, the book presents a unified and inclusive approach to studying figurative language and its impact on communication.
