Me not a good kisser, that’s like Mother Theresa, not a good mother. An Analysis of the Hyperbolic like Comparison Construction
Given the scarcity of research on hyperbole and simile in Cognitive Linguistics, it is important to explore these figures of speech, whose interaction has only been tangentially addressed in this field. Thus, the main aim of the study is to provide a detailed description of hyperbolic like comparison constructions by examining the structural and conceptual diversity of the source and target domains, as well as the characteristics of the third com…
Why use constructional hyperboles? Exploring the communicative functions of constructional hyperboles in the sitcom Friends
The present study emerges from the need to analyse hyperbole, a highly productive figure of speech, which has received scarce attention in comparison with metaphor and metonymy (Peña & Ruiz de Mendoza, 2017, 2022). Framed within the Lexical Constructional Model, this paper embraces the findings in Ruiz de Mendoza & Galera (2014), Peña & Ruiz de Mendoza (2017, 2022), who are concerned with understanding the cognitive processes involved in the prod…
Hope and equilibrium in the dystopian world of The Hunger Games

It does so through a detailed study of the “tributes”, i.e. the randomly selected children who have to fight to death in a nationally televised show, in The Hunger Games. The study proves the effectiveness of such categories to provide an analytically…
Digging up the frequency of phrasal verbs in English for the Police
The present study focuses on the frequency of phrasal verbs with the particle up in the context of crime and police investigative work. This research emerges from the need to enlarge McCarthy and O’Dell’s (2004) scope from purely criminal behavior to police investigative actions. To do so, we relied on a corpus of 504,124 running words made up of spoken dialogues extracted from the script of the American TV series Castle shown on ABC since 2009. …
