Using Figurative Language presents results from a multidisciplinary decades-long study of figurative language that addresses the question, 'Why don't people just say what they mean?' This research empirically investigates goals speakers or writers have when speaking (writing) figuratively, and concomitantly, meaning effects wrought by figurative language usage. These 'pragmatic effects' arise from many kinds of figurative language including metaphors (e.g. 'This computer is a dinosaur'), verbal irony (e.g. 'Nice place you got here'), idioms (e.g. 'Bite the bullet'), proverbs (e.g. 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket') and others. Reviewed studies explore mechanisms - linguistic, psychological, social and others - underlying pragmatic effects, some traced to basic processes embedded in human sensory, perceptual, embodied, cognitive, social and schematic functioning. The book should interest readers, researchers and scholars in fields beyond psychology, linguistics and philosophy that

A finalist for the 2015 LAMBDA Literary Award.What if you weren't sexually attracted to anyone?A growing number of people are identifying as asexual. They aren’t sexually attracted to anyone, and they consider it a sexual orientationlike gay, straight, or bisexual.Asexuality is the invisible orientation. Most people believe that everyone” wants sex, that everyone” understands what it means to be attracted to other people, and that everyone” wants to date and mate. But that’s where asexual people are left outthey don’t find other people sexually attractive, and if and when they say so, they are very rarely treated as though that’s okay.When an asexual person comes out, alarming reactions regularly follow; loved ones fear that an asexual person is sick, or psychologically warped, or suffering from abuse.

暢銷書作家冒牌生與兩位網路人氣少男少女的跨世代對話！ 19歲的佩諭和宇晨代表年輕人， 丟出他們心中最疑惑的大問號： 和擁有正向思考的冒牌生對話。 冒牌生並針對青春、友情、夢想、愛情、熱血等議題， 寫了110則短文語錄， 為年輕人一語點破心中迷惘。 何謂「中二症」？ 中學二年級左右，因逐漸成形的價值觀與尚未脫離幼稚的想法互相混雜而產生的成長狀態。 用以揶揄叛逆期的青少年過於自以為是或自我滿足的言行，也漸漸演變成青春期特有思想、行動、價值觀的總稱。 關於青春 ◎方向 Direction 生活有許多的十字路口，十字路口都有指標，每個指標都指著一個方向，但站在十字路口的交點，該怎麼走總讓人捉摸不定。 很多人總說：「現在的位置不重要，重要的是前進的方向。」其實生活更像是一艘船，前進的方向固然重要，掌握自己的所在的原點更是需要釐清的關鍵。 沒有原點，又該怎麼前進。不要擔心，現在的我們就算不曉得該朝著那個方向前進，但可以待在一個地方，保留一個位置，思考怎麼走，走多久；怎麼愛，愛多久。停留片刻以後，繞了一圈，原點自然會浮現，方向就會清晰可見。 關於友情 ◎真心An Honest Friend 真心的朋友，不怕相見恨晚， 因為相見恨晚後會讓彼此更珍惜接下來的所有回憶；他不會只關注你走得有多遠，而是關心你走得累不累；當你的臉上消失笑容的時候，會毫不吝嗇的給你微笑。 真心的朋友，不會因為距離改變，也不會因為相處時間變短消散，反而會像一瓶好酒，愈陳愈香；就算不一定每天能見面， 但你清楚知道，他們一直都在。真心的朋友，懂得你所有的欲言又止，那些和你之間微不足道的小事，最終都會變成溫暖回憶和珍貴片段。 這條人生的路上，真心朋友可遇不可求，如果幸運遇上一、兩個那就足夠。 關於夢想 ◎執著Stick to 掛在嘴邊的不一定最真實；放進心中的才是。如果你遇到困難想要放棄，不要急著說別無選擇，也許在下個路口你就會遇見希望。 因為對夢想你應該要有一個執著的理由，你或許會問，為何別人總是得到，而你卻看不到遠方的希望？ 其實，那些得到的人不是從未失去過，而是他們沒有執著失去， 也沒有選擇放棄。生活就是這樣，你以為失去的可能正在來到，你以為得到的可能默默離開，把困難把你變得更好，而不是更苦澀。勇氣是一個人最大的貴人，你真的可以再堅定一點。 關於愛情 ◎告白Say I Lov
