Semantics, discourse analysis, etc

The prophetic character of metaphor, Denis Donoghue says, changes the world by changing our sense of it. Num Pages: 210 pages. BIC Classification: CFG; DSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 215 x 149 x 21. Weight in Grams: 392.
