“…Interestingly, relatively subtle exposure to alternative metaphors may weaken these entrenched concepts. Numerous psycholinguistic studies prime subjects with unexpected metaphoric phrases, give no guidance on interpretation, then find improved comprehension of related discourse and notable shifts from entrenched framing (see, for example, Patterson, 2017). Exposure to comparatively complex metaphoric frames likewise induces shifts away from simplistic points of view (Thibodeau et al, 2016).…”

Metaphors are essential to scientists themselves and strongly influence science communication. Through careful analyses of metaphors actually used in science texts, recordings, and videos, this book explores the essential functions of conceptual metaphor in the conduct of science, teaching of science, and how scientific ideas are promoted and popularized. With an accessible introduction to theory and method this book prepares scientists, science teachers, and science writers to take advantage of recent shifts in metaphor theories and methods. Metaphor specialists will find theoretical issues explored in studies of bacteriology, cell reproduction, marine biology, physics, brain function and social psychology. We see the degree of conscious or intentional use of metaphor in shaping our conceptual systems and constraining inferences. Metaphor sources include social structure, embodied experience, abstract or mathematical formulations. The results are sometimes innovative hypotheses and robust conclusions; other times pedagogically useful, if inaccurate, stepping stones or, at worst, misleading fictions. As of January 2023, this e-book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched.

“…"over 95 million words of Guardian news and features text, supplemented by slightly more than 3 million words from the British National Corpus (written text) and 230,000 words of spoken data" (p. xi). Much of the literature reviewed in Chapter 3 shares the same focus, for example Hoey (2007aHoey ( , 2007b, Patterson (2015), Cantos andAlmela (2017), andJantunen (2017). Although there are studies that do deal with recognizable genres, in most cases they explore fairly broad generic categories.…”

In this introduction, we start by providing an overview of how metaphor makes science accessible (§ 1). The first part describes the intended readership of this book and introduces them to studies of metaphor in science. We then provide the theoretical foundation for the study of metaphor in science that all of the contributions in this volume are based on: Conceptual Metaphor Theory (§ 2). The third part (§ 3) introduces the three interrelated functions or levels of metaphor that are vital for making science accessible: language, thought, and communication. An overview of contributions to this volume concludes this chapter (§ 4).
