Abstract:
Group C-2 of the Excellence Cluster 264 Topoi Space and Metaphor in Language,
Cognition, and Texts is dedicated to the study of spatial metaphors and their
functions in texts of different genres, languages, and epochs. This outline of
the work of group C-2 takes as its point of departure and theoretical
framework a general linguistic typology of spatial metaphors. This outline is
followed by a series of case studies ranging from wisdom texts and
philosophical treatises to tragedy and from Ancient Egyptian to Shakespearean
English. These examples are aimed at illustrating both the challenges and the
possibilities of the study and interpretation of spatial metaphors in their
respective contexts.
