Pictorial Metaphor in Advertising by Charles Forceville

Charles Forceville provides us with a method of detecting the metaphors which exist within pictures, particularly in advertising.

'Forceville's Pictoral Metaphor in Advertising provides stimulating insights into the ways that metaphors are manipulated pictorally as a means of selling products.. It is precisely this kind of study, in which metaphor is viewed as a phenomenon in everyday life, that is most exciting.' - Journal of Sociolinguistics

'Forceville's book on metaphor in pictures is by far the most comprehensive examination of the topic.' - The Semiotic Review of Books

Charles Forceville is Lecturer in the Department of English, also affiliated to the Department of Comparative and Empirical Literature at the Free University in Amsterdam.
