    Open AccessBritta C Brugman, Ellen Droog et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol2022

    Metaphors abound in descriptions of the COVID-19 pandemic: it is described, among other things, as a war, a flood, and a marathon. However, not all metaphors may resonate equally well with members of the public. Given that the pandemic has impacted people’s lives across countries in divergent ways – both in terms of spread and in terms of government-imposed measures, we investigated whether audience perceptions of metaphors for the COVID-19 pande…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of c…

    This article introduces the Hyperbole Identification Procedure (HIP), a firstsystematic method for identifying linguistic hyperbole in discourse. We startby comparing existing definitions of linguistic hyperbole. Based on thecommonalities shared by these definitions, we provide our operationaldefinition of hyperbole as “an expression that is more extreme than justifiedgiven its ontological referent.” The next section argues why it is useful toide…
