The Metaphoric Process: Connections Between Language and Life
ISBN: 9780415126243 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By looking at the metaphoric process - in an interpersonal rather than a formal way - its importance in allowing us access to new worlds of experience is revealed. The metaphoric potential in us all exposes us to the world...
