The first half of the book introduces relevance theory, situating it in relation to literary criticism, and then surveys the history of metaphor in literary studies and assesses relevance theory’s account of metaphor, including recent developments within the theory such as Robyn Carston’s notion of ‘the lingering of the literal’. The second half of the book considers the role of metaphor in the work of three nineteenth- and twentieth-century poets through the lens of three terms central to relevance theory: inference, implicature and mutual manifestness. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars working in literary studies, pragmatics and stylistics, as well as to relevance theorists. | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Relevance Theory; literary criticism; pragma-stylistics; pragmatic literary stylistics; figurative langu | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-83954-3 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-83956-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-83954-3 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerl |
