The third installment in New York Times bestselling author Joanna Wylde's Reapers Motorcycle Club series Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty.

Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him.

Metonymies and Metaphors for Death Around the World
Author: Wojciech Wachowski
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000469948
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This book reflects on the ways in which metaphor and metonymy are used conceptually and linguistically to mitigate the more difficult dimensions of death and dying, setting out a unique line of research within Conceptual Metaphor Theory.// The volume argues that metaphor and metonymic descriptions of death and dying reflect taboos, concealment, and other considerations not found in figurative descriptions of life, producing distinct forms of euphemism, frames, and mental spaces particular to conceptualisations of death. The first part focuses on the more palatable concepts which metaphorically structure and help to better understand death. The second section takes a closer look at metonymy to illuminate the ways in which it allows a person to zoom in on death’s more inoffensive dimensions or zoom out on its more troubling aspects. A wide range of classical and modern examples from European, Asian, Australian Aboriginal, and African languages and cultures showcase points of overlap and divergence. // Opening up new lines of inquiry into research on death and dying and offering a linguistically-focused complement to anthropological and religious studies on the topic, this book will be of interest to scholars in cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, cross-cultural communication, and cultural studies.
