Description

In this thought-provoking exploration of language, Karen Sullivan delves into the intricate relationship between frames and constructions within metaphoric language. Her work examines how metaphors shape our understanding of concepts and influence our perceptions of reality. Through a blend of theoretical insights and practical examples, she reveals the subtle ways in which language can transform thought.

Sullivan invites readers to consider the power of metaphors in everyday communication and their broader implications in various contexts, from literature to cognitive science. This examination encourages a deeper appreciation of the nuances of language and its capacity to construct our experiences and interactions in the world.
