Entertainment has been taking very important parts in our life by refreshing us and activating our creativity. Recently by the advancement of computers and networks new types of entertainment have been emerging such as video games, entertainment robots, and network games.

This collection of papers presents different views on metaphor in communication. The overall aim is to show that the communicative dimension of metaphor cannot be reduced to its conceptual and/or linguistic dimension. The volume addresses two main questions: does the communicative dimension of metaphor have specific features that differentiate it from its linguistic and cognitive dimensions? And how could these specific properties of communication change our understanding of the linguistic and cognitive dimensions of metaphor? The authors of the papers collected in this volume offer answers to these questions that raise new interests in metaphor and communication.

This volume analyzes branded content through a theoretical and empirical study to examine the factors that have led to exponential growth and the adaptation of creative advertising processes in the creation of branded content. The book debates the suitability and acceptability of branded entertainment as an advertising practice, the different degrees of involvement of the brand in creating content, and the brands' mastery of entertainment. It explores the implications that may underpin the practice and discusses the necessary creative elements involved in their successful execution, as well as the effects it has on consumers and audiences. This insightful book will be a valuable guide for academics and upper-level students across marketing disciplines, including advertising, brand management and communications, as well as screenwriting.

As China experiences tremendous economic and social transformation in the reform years, language use in China has also undergone remarkable changes in the past couple decades: the national obsession with learning the global English, which becomes both a resource for modernization and a source of contention; the expanding use of local languages and dialects in mass media, where standard Mandarin is promoted and legally prescribed as the principal language; the emergence of the Internet language that has become a creative source for constructing a distinct youth identity; the Cantonese writing movement that challenges the hegemony of the Chinese writing system, which is traditionally based on northern Mandarin, to name a few. The nine papers collected in this volume examine recent trends in language use in mainland China, and the associated social, economic, political, and cultural manifestations. Drawing on their backgrounds and expertise in sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, linguistic anthropology, and cultural studies, the authors offer interdisciplinary, insightful, and critical analysis of linguistic struggles and linguistic politics in contemporary China. As such, the carefully presented details of emerging language use in this book will be of value to scholars interested in language and culture in contemporary China. It may be used as a supplementary text for students in Chinese (socio-)linguistics, Chinese language, Chinese cultural studies, Chinese anthropology, Chinese sociology, and Chinese studies in general.

In the realm of imagination, where the boundaries of reality blur and the unknown beckons, there lies a world teeming with creatures both wondrous and terrifying: monsters. From the depths of folklore and mythology to the silver screen and the printed page, monsters have captivated our minds and haunted our dreams for centuries. In this comprehensive exploration of the monstrous, we delve into the rich tapestry of these enigmatic beings, uncovering their secrets and unraveling their significance in human culture. Through a captivating blend of history, psychology, and pop culture analysis, we embark on a journey to understand why monsters fascinate us, what they represent, and how they reflect our deepest fears and desires. From the iconic monsters of classic literature, such as Frankenstein's monster and Dracula, to the modern-day cinematic creations that have become synonymous with horror, we examine the evolution of monsters and their enduring presence in our collective consciousness. We explore the psychological underpinnings of our fascination with monsters, delving into the theories of Sigmund Freud and other experts to uncover the hidden meanings and motivations behind these creatures. We also investigate the role of monsters in society, examining how they have been used as metaphors and symbols to reflect our fears, anxieties, and hopes. From the political allegory of George Orwell's Animal Farm to the environmental commentary of Godzilla, monsters have served as powerful tools for social and political commentary. With meticulous research and engaging storytelling, this book takes readers on an unforgettable journey into the world of monsters, revealing their profound impact on our culture, our history, and our very nature. Whether you are a lifelong monster enthusiast or simply curious about the dark side of human imagination, this book promises to enlighten, entertain, and challenge your perception of these fascinating creatures. Prepare to enter a realm where reality and fantasy collide, where the boundaries of the human psyche are tested, and where the monsters that lurk in the shadows of our minds come to life.

In cognitive research, metaphors have been shown to help us imagine complex, abstract, or invisible ideas, concepts, or emotions. Contributors to this book argue that metaphors occur not only in language, but in audio visual media well. This is all the more evident in entertainment media, which strategically "sell" their products by addressing their viewers’ immediate, reflexive understanding through pictures, sounds, and language. This volume applies cognitive metaphor theory (CMT) to film, television, and video games in order to analyze the embodied aesthetics and meanings of those moving images.

This groundbreaking collection represents the broad scope of cutting-edge research in Cultural Linguistics, a burgeoning field of interdisciplinary inquiry into the relationships between language and cultural cognition. The materials surveyed in its chapters demonstrate how cultural conceptualisations encoded in language relate to all aspects of human life - from emotion and embodiment to kinship, religion, marriage and politics, even the understanding of life and death. Cultural Linguistics draws on cognitive science, complexity science and distributed cognition, among other disciplines, to strengthen its theoretical and analytical base. The tools it has developed have worked toward insightful investigations into the cultural grounding of language in numerous applied domains, including World Englishes, cross-cultural/intercultural pragmatics, intercultural communication, Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL), and political discourse analysis.

Organizational Communication: A Critical Approach is the first textbook in the field that is written from a critical perspective while providing a comprehensive survey of theory and research in organizational communication. The text familiarizes students with the field of organizational communication—historically, conceptually, and practically—and challenges them to reconsider their common sense understandings of work and organizations, preparing them for participation in 21st century organizational settings. Linking theory with practice, Mumby skillfully explores the significant role played by organizations and corporations in constructing our identities. The book thus provides important ways for students to critically reflect on their own relationships to work, consumption, and organizations.
