This collection of papers presents different views on metaphor in communication. The overall aim is to show that the communicative dimension. The volume addresses two main questions: does the communicative dimension of metaphor have specific features that differentiate it from its linguistic and cognitive dimensions? And how could these specific properties of communication change our understanding of the linguistic and cognitive dimensions of metaphor? The authors of the papers collected in this volume offer answers to these questions, that raise new interests in metaphor and communication.
