This lively introduction to figurative language explains a broad range of concepts, including metaphor, metonymy, simile, and blending, and develops new tools for analyzing them. It coherently grounds the linguistic understanding of these concepts in basic cognitive mechanisms such as categorization, frames, mental spaces, and viewpoint; and it fits them into a consistent framework which is applied to cross-linguistic data and also to figurative structures in gesture and the visual arts. Comprehensive and practical, the book includes analyses of figurative uses of both word meanings and linguistic constructions. • Provides definitions of major concepts • Offers in-depth analyses of examples, exploring multiple levels of complexity • Surveys figurative structures in different discourse genres • Helps students to connect figurative usage with the conceptual underpinnings of language • Goes beyond English to explore cross-linguistic and cross-modal data

FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE “[Han Kang writes in] intense poetic prose that . . . exposes the fragility of human life.”—from the Nobel Prize citation SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • A “formally daring, emotionally devastating, and deeply political” (The New York Times Book Review) exploration of personal grief through the prism of the color white, from the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian “Stunningly beautiful writing . . . delicate and gorgeous . . . one of the smartest reflections on what it means to remember those we’ve lost.”—NPR While on a writer’s residency, a nameless narrator focuses on the color white to creatively channel her inner pain. Through lyrical, interconnected stories, she grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, attempting to make sense of her older sister’s death using the color white. From trying to imagine her mother’s first time producing breast milk to watching the snow fall and meditating on the impermanence of life, she weaves a poignant, heartfelt story of the omnipresence of grief and the ways we perceive the world around us. In captivating, starkly beautiful language, The White Book offers a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and of our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.

Teaching Children about Figurative Language and More was designed to familiarize students with various language terms and to help develop their skills as writers. In less than 50 pages, they will learn what constitutes a complete sentence, will learn about plot structure, and will become familiar with writing techniques that authors often incorporate into their writing, such as imagery, alliteration, and assonance. The four different types of sentences (imperative, declarative, interrogative, and exclamatory) will also be studied, and students will be able to differentiate between sentences written in the first person, second person, and third person. In addition, easy-to-understand definitions, examples, and colorful illustrations are provided to familiarize students with the terms personification, onomatopoeia, simile, metaphor, hyperbole, idiom, irony, oxymoron, acronym, antonym, and synonym. Moreover, students will learn how to distinguish between the often-confused words homonyms, homophones, homographs, and heteronyms. (Note that the pages that teach these language terms also provide the correct pronunciation and that there is a pronunciation guide included in the book.) Besides the terms mentioned above, students will learn when "can" should be used in a sentence in place of "may" and when "I" should be used in place of "me." Several reproducible worksheets and a practice test are also available for individual practice, to assess student learning, or for a teacher to use for direct instruction purposes on the classroom screen. The practice test is included at the end of the book. The same practice test is also available online as a computer-based test. You can access the test free of charge by visiting the website of Habakkuk Educational Materials at https://www.habakkuk.net/. When the student feels confident or at the teacher's discretion, there is also a computer-based unit test they can take to test their comprehension over the book's content.This book could be introduced to students as early as the first grade and used throughout elementary, middle, and high school. Actual testing of the content could begin as early as the 3rd grade. For more information or to contact Habakkuk Educational Materials, please visit the website below.https://www.habakkuk.net/
