About this ebook
English is a language of metaphors. Nearly every word in this glorious global language doubles up as a metaphor. Using simple words as sexy metaphors is profitable, in more ways than one. One, it adds colour to your communication. Metaphors make your words effective, energetic and imagery-filled. Two, it expands and extends your vocabulary. If you know a word in both its literal and metaphorical senses, it is akin to knowing more words, multiple words.
As new words keep getting added to the English lexicon every passing day, writers are turning innovative. They are inventing new and novel metaphorical usages for words already known. That is what makes English highly vibrant and extremely dynamic. This vibrancy and dynamism are largely responsible for the universality and reach of the English language. This book will help you to add colour to your simple words by turning them into sexy metaphors. How? Just by opening your eyes to their versatility and variegated applications as metaphors.
For a really enhanced learning experience, this book has drawn published examples of all the word-metaphors from the world’s leading newspapers, magazines, periodicals and websites, consciously tracking the metamorphosis in English usage and abusage.
Metaphoric Madness is actually the first week lesson from a 4-week course. With one-week’s lesson in each book, there are four books in all. Thus, this Metaphor Series has Book 1 to Book 4. And Book 1 is before you now, an irresistibly stimulating and appetising starter. With five chosen word-metaphors a day and seven days a week, it adds up to 35 metaphorical words a week, all covered in one book. So, you have a total of 140 metaphor-words in all the four books put together. These 140 metaphor-words have been drawn from where you live, where you study, what you study and what you play.
This book is all about the first set of 35 metaphor-words of the first week, all of them drawn from where you live. These 35 words are further divided into seven sub-groups, for the seven days of the week. These seven sub-groups are: from the kitchen, the bedroom, the garden, the family, the house, the avenue and the dining room.
You are sure to find this book profitable and in all likelihood it may end up finally in your reference library. In all, Metaphoric Madness is worth the effort.
