Over the past few decades, research on metaphor has focused almost exclusively on its verbal and cognitive dimensions. In Pictorial Metaphor in Advertising, Charles Forceville argues that metaphor can also occur in pictures and draws on relevant studies from various disciplines to propose a model for the identification, classification, and analysis of 'pictorial metaphors'. By using insights taken from a range of linguistic, artistic and cognitive perspectives for example, interaction and relevance theory, Forceville shows not only how metaphor can occur in pictures, but also provides a framework within which these pictorial metaphors can be analyzed.

This is a collection of 6 pdf files. 4 of them are about Prepositions and 1 is for Nouns and 1 is for Verbs. All of them are like a picture dictionary for teaching and learning those parts of speech through pictures. So I named them "Parts of Speech through Pictures". They are available in the net ( in most of the cases the source is mentioned) and I choose them for sharing as I believe in the power of visualisation in Learning and Teaching. Think you will agree too.
In this monumental work of complex and probing proportions, the renowned feminist and psychoanalyst Gemma Corradi Fiumara surveys the vast literature on metaphor. She suggests that metaphorical language communicates via the creation images, pictures and finds in it an irreducible aspect to interpersonal communication and our use of language itself.
