- Title
Review of Augé (2023): Metaphor and Argumentation in Climate Crisis Discourse.
- Authors
Zou, Jie; Zhong, Xiyun
- Abstract
This document is a review of Anaïs Augé's book, "Metaphor and Argumentation in Climate Crisis Discourse." The book explores the use of metaphor in climate crisis discourse and its political, cultural, and social relevance. It analyzes various metaphors used in climate crisis discourse, such as nature as mother and climate change as religion, and examines how these metaphors shape arguments and perspectives on the environment. The book also discusses the role of metaphors in climate optimism and pessimism, the global and local dimensions of the climate crisis, and the connection between the climate crisis and other social issues. While the book provides valuable insights, it does not delve into aspects of climate justice or other metaphors popularized by scientific discourses. Overall, it is a valuable resource for those interested in discourse analysis, linguistics, political argument, and environmental communication.
