A Review of Metaphors in the Mind:Sources of Variation in Embodied Metaphor
摘要
Abstract
This article reviews Jeannette Littlemore's academic monograph Metaphors in the Mind:Sources of Variation in Embodied Metaphor(2019).As the first work to systematically explore variation in embodied metaphor,the book adopts a cognitive linguistics perspective to critically reflect on the"universality"presupposition in traditional conceptual metaphor theory.It proposes that the embodied nature of metaphor presents variation due to individual differences.By integrating theoretical analysis with empirical research,the book systematically examines how internal and external factors—including age,physical characteristics,sensory abilities,psychological states,and cultural backgrounds—influence individuals'understanding and application of embodied metaphor.It further reveals the socially constructed nature of metaphorical cognition and its profound significance in shaping human worldviews.This article summarizes the core content of each chapter,highlights the book's distinctive features,and identifies aspects that warrant further refinement.Overall,the book provides a new theoretical framework and methodological insights for embodied metaphor research,and its interdisciplinary perspective and critical thinking hold important guiding significance for subsequent studies.关键词
