Tropical Truth(s): The Epistemology of Metaphor and Other Tropes by Armin Burkhardt
English | 19 Apr. 2010 | ISBN: 3110230208 | 436 Pages | PDF | 3 MB

Tropes are not only rhetorical means, which are used as a creative and / or persuasive linguistic means in poetry and public speech. They are also a cognitive tool which helps people to understand the world and to express their world. As they are the basis on which our worldview and even our everyday speech is founded, the question must be posed as to whether utterances containing tropes can be said to be true.
