Conceptual Metaphors, Progressive Values, and Reframing in America: the Work of George Lakoff

people who have studied rhetoric and the language of persuasion appear to be somewhat irregular these days.

i'm doing my best to change that and to make this knowledge and information available to anyone who crosses my professional path
and i appreciate lakoff's writing because i can show it to my students and then discuss it. with any luck, they will pay attention and it will sink in.

I have a feeling that your best will be sufficient to reach those who are reachable.
