内容もデザインも良かったです!
行文が完結で、例も多くてわかりやすいです。ただし、欧米系のメタファーは、アジア系の私たちに、ピンと来ない時も。全体的によかったです。

A very interesting read (especially for people studying linguistics)
A very interesting read. That said, the book is written in an academic style and, while there's nothing wrong with that per se, it's probably not what you're looking for if you're after a treatment of this topic written in an accessible and easy to read style for the layperson. (In fact, much of the content in several of the chapters is taken from an article published by the authors in the Journal of Philosophy and retains that style of writing.)

Great introduction for making sense of literature and linguistics
Great book to understand linguistics with cognition and psychology. Metaphors are not just products of the conscious mind they are part of a system that helps us understand the world. Metaphors orient us by organizing the chaos of reality

Book cover was not in the best shape
The book was not in good shape and was not properly sealed

Un des premiers livres sur la pensée fondée sur les métaphores
Même si la traduction française a pris soin du texte original, l'ouvrage en VO vaut le détour.
