作者简介 本书作者Veronika Koller于2003年获得维也纳大学英语语言学博士学位,博士论文研究商务报刊中的隐喻。目前,Koller是兰卡斯特大学语言学与英语系的不错讲师,研究兴趣主要为认知批评话语分析和话语中的身份问题。Koller的研究特点是以隐喻为工具,以语料库方法为实证方法,以批评话语分析为定性方法,考察语言、认知和社会三个平面,即融合语料库方法、隐喻分析和批评话语分析形成了基于语料库的批评隐喻分析方法,从某种程度上反映了认知语言学研究的“实证转向”和“社会转向”。Koller的研究语料包括企业话语、公立和私立机构中的健康话语等,在《隐喻与象征》 (Metaphor and Symbol)、 《话语与社会》 (Discourse & Society)、《在工作中建构身份》 (Constructing Identities at Work)等多种期刊和论文集中发表了关于隐喻的论文,如: 1.Deliberate conventional metaphor in images:the case Of COIporate branding discourse 2.The integration Of othei’so domains into corporate discourse:the case Of polit.ical metaphors 3.Brand images:multimodal metaphor in COtpotate branding messages 4.Metaphor,politics and gender:a case study from ltalv
