Interpreting Figurative Meaning examines how people understand figurative language, including metaphor (e.g. 'My lawyer is a shark'), metonymy (e.g. 'They are reading Dickens') and proverbs (e.g. 'A rolling stone gathers no moss'). The book explores interdisciplinary debates on the process of comprehending and experiencing thoughts and emotions in everyday life.
