Hardback. Metaphor, as an act of human fancy, combines ideas in improbable ways to sharpen meanings of life and experience. Theoretically, this arises from an association between a sign - for example, a cattle car - and its referent, the Holocaust. These "sign-vehicles" serve as modes of semiotic transportation through conceptual space. Editor(s): Lipset, David; Handler, Richard. Num Pages: 228 pages, 29 ills. BIC Classification: JFCD; JHM.
