'A valuable and enlightening contribution ... an excellent introductory textbook to metaphor studies, accessible both to people who are being introduced to the study of metaphor for the very first time and to people well-versed in metaphor studies ... this book is strongly recommended ... it is a real contribution to metaphor studies.' - Denis L. Jamet, The LINGUIST List'Knowles and Moon's Introducing Metaphor remains a valuable and enlightening contribution and, above all, an excellent introductory textbook to metaphor studies, accessible both to people who are being introduced to the study of metaphor for the very first time and to people well-versed in metaphor studies, or just to people interested in the cognitive function of metaphors. Overall, this book is strongly to be recommended in so far as it is a real contribution to metaphor studies, but also inasmuch as it helps our understanding of the pervasive role played by the metaphors we live by.' - Denis L. Ramet, Lexis 'A valuable and enlightening contribution ... an excellent introductory textbook to metaphor studies, accessible both to people who are being introduced to the study of metaphor for the very first time and to people well-versed in metaphor studies ... this book is strongly recommended ... it is a real contribution to metaphor studies.' - The Linguist List
