Tropical Truth(S): The Epistemology of Metaphor and Other Tropes
Armin Burkhardt & Brigitte Nerlich (eds.)
De Gruyter (2010)
Abstract
The 18 contributions to this volume deal with a variety of 'tropes', such as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, euphemism, antonomasia and hyperbole. Using various approaches or paradigms the authors aim to find answers to the crucial epistemological questions, namely whether and to what extent utterances containing tropes can be said to be true or false.Other Versions
