In this updated edition of his brief, engaging book, Robert J. Fogelin examines figures of speech that concern meaning - irony, hyperbole, understatement, similes, metaphors, and others - to show how they work and to explain their attraction. Building on the ideas of Grice and Tversky, Fogelincontends that figurative language derives its power from its insistence that the reader participate in the text, looking beyond the literal meaning of the figurative language to the meanings that are implied. With examples ranging from Shakespeare, John Donne, and Jane Austen to e. e. cummings, Bessie Smith, and Monty Python, Fogelin demonstrates that the intellectual and aesthetic force of figurative language is derived from the opportunity it provides for unlimited elaboration. Fogelin presents a modern restatement of the view, first put forward by Aristotle, that metaphors are to be treated as elliptical similes. He then offers a detailed defense of this "comparativist" view of metaphors in response to criticisms that have been brought against it by a series of eminentphilosophers. This new edition is updated to reflect more recent work on the topic and will interest philosophers, linguists, and literary theorists. | Figuratively Speaking by Robert J.
