UNDERSTANDING TROPES - JAVIER HERRERO RUIZ GEBU...

This book attempts to analyse irony  paradox  oxymoron  overstatement  understatement 
euphemism  and dysphemism from the point of view of both Cognitive Linguistics and Pragmatics.
In order to do so  we have regarded each trope as a cognitive model  and observed that the
various ICMs that resulted from this approach had in common an essential feature: they were all
constructed around the creation of contrasts. Also  we have developed a common processing model
for these ICMs  which shows that these so-called figures of speech can be fully considered
conceptual mechanisms of meaning creation and derivation. Apart from determining which specific
pragmatic implications these models bring about and studying their underlying cognitive
operations  we have argued that they should be described in terms of the contextual effects
they produce. Therefore  a new classification and definition of these tropes is provided.
