Features the contributions that deal with a variety of tropes such as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, irony, euphemism, antonomasia and hyperbole. Using various approaches or paradigms, this title aims to find an answer to the epistemological questions, namely whether and to what extent utterances containing tropes can be said to be true or false.
