| Publisher Description: The key to understanding the complex works of Germany's leading writer, G nther Grass, is found in his creative use of language. This book is the first comprehensive, scientific analysis based on a cognitive theory of metaphor of Grass' statements in Die Blechtrommel. Moreover, the resulting data gleaned from the metaphoric meanings - depicted in graphs - offer an important insight into Grass' way of thinking, thereby linking the vast number of interpretations contained in Grass research. This book presents metaphoric analysis as a novel approach to text interpretation and language study. |
