Abstract

The book first provides an overview and criticisms of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) developed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) and then elucidates Kövecses’s responses to the five criticisms, basing on which an extended version of CMT was built termed Extended CMT. Generally, the framework consists of different layers with the grounding space on meaning, conceptual structure, ontological level, and context. The value of the book lies in the gestalt components of the framework to account for the activation and meaning of a particular conceptual metaphor, shedding light on the way humans construe a reality/ the world.
