- This long-form output summarizes the results of a large-scale questionnaire-based survey of metaphor interpretations by 2000+ respondents from 30 linguistic and cultural backgrounds at 50 universities across the UK, Europe, the US, the Middle East Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan, which was conducted 2011-2019. The book documents and analyses both qualitatively and quantitatively culture-specific variation in how the metaphor of the NATION AS BODY is understood and links this variation to historical and linguistic traditions in the respective cultural contexts. Doing so it reveals hidden meaning differences in political metaphor in English as lingua franca that impact intercultural communication.
