ERIC ED619049: A Dictionary and Thesaurus of Contemporary Figurative Language and Metaphor 2022
The third and latest (2022) edition of this dictionary and thesaurus of contemporary figurative language and metaphor has been updated to better reflect the language of groups, social media, and social change. The work seeks to identify language used figuratively in everyday contemporary English, along with its distinguishing collocates. The first entry is "ablaze," and the last entry is "Zuckerberg (the Russian Mark Zuckerberg, etc.)." Each entry is tagged by what cognitive linguists sometimes describe as target and source; in general, each entry seeks to highlight a physical basis. Tags include ones like shape; direction; weight; trips & journeys; past & present; feeling & emotion, etc. The compiler is a lifelong EFL teacher of adult military students in Saudi Arabia, and his interest in figurative language arose during his work. The result reinforces that language used figuratively based on our lives and experiences is common and important in all types of communication. For example, a "tug-of-war" from the experience of our childhood can describe a struggle with radar on a plane that results in hundreds of fatalities, and a "conversation" nowadays often suggests much more than simply a talk between two people. The work has implications for ESL / EFL teaching, which tends to focus on the literal meanings of words, usually the first sense in a dictionary. Clearly, more attention should be paid to other senses of words, and this work will help to identify and classify them. This is a reference for ESL / EFL teachers, curriculum developers, materials writers, and teacher trainers. However, it has also been found useful as a dataset by linguists and computer experts interested in metaphor detection, natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), and social-media analysis. Preliminary short discussions based on the work include (1) 60 + common metaphors (2) Collocation (3) Epithets (4) Persons (5) The "container" metaphor (6) Grammatical metaphor, fictive verbs, etc. (7) Past, present and future (8) Allusions (9) Euphemisms (10) Gestures and bodily reactions (11) Shapes and parts-whole (12) Animacy (13) Persistence, survival and endurance (15) Quotations (16) Synonyms and opposites (17) Lessons and exercises (18) To the ESL /EFL teacher, which focuses on how the dictionary and thesaurus impacts the knowledge and experience base of the ESL / EFL teacher and (19) An alphabetized list of the thesaurus categories.
