Argument is War, Love is a Journey, and Qualitative Research Needs a Pair of Glasses
Rudolf Schmitt (Germany)
Review Essay:
George Lakoff & Mark Johnson (2003). Leben in Metaphern. Konstruktion und Gebrauch von Sprachbildern (Translation of "Metaphors We Live By")
Abstract: LAKOFF and JOHNSON argue that common metaphorical words imply cognitive models, which they call "metaphorical concepts." They extend the definition of metaphor beyond classical definitions. Metaphorical concepts grasp patterns of meaning and methods of metaphor analysis have been derived from this approach as tools for interpreting qualitative data. The book reviewed was the first publication of the so-called "cognitive linguistic" school. It can still be strongly recommended for qualitative researchers today, although some definitions have changed.
Key words: metaphorical concepts, metaphor analysis, cognitive linguistic, qualitative interpretation
