What does the phrase ¿find oneself¿ mean for example? Does a person ¿find oneself¿ in the same way one finds a coin on the sidewalk?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Barry Grossman investigates the underlying conceptual commonality of these types of metaphorical phrases. It is the concept of Self-Awareness that these constructions have in common, not simply in reference to a speaker¿s self-knowledge, but an acute meta-awareness of one¿s state or situation. Self-Awareness turns out to be an image schema and numerous metaphors are construed and predicated with this as its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book combines syntax and semantics, as well as cognitive linguistic theory and corpus linguistic analyses to approach a contentious issue raised in the past by many, but explained sufficiently by few. It studies the cognitive reality of perceptual Self-Awareness as an image schema used to drive metaphoric construal within the reflexive construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783668891531\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783668891531","offer_id":39436075401309,"sku":"9783668891531","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/c8ff4714-3389-4797-ba3b-1087e1b4b955.jpg?v=1778560256","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/metaphoric-self-awareness-in-reflexive-constructions-von-barry-grossman","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
