This chapter introduces the overall purpose, theoretical background, and
structure of this collective volume. We start with our initial motivation, advancing
the empirical study of metaphor in specialist discourse. Matching our goal,
depicting metaphor use across a range of specialist domains and communities
of discourse, we give an overview of the individual articles. The main emphasis,
however, is on sketching a model of metaphor use in specific and popularized
discourse settings that serves as a framework for the volume. Specifically,
we draw on the latest discourse- and cognition-oriented metaphor studies, in
particular conceptual metaphor theory, which we link to genre and register
studies. We propose that aspects of discourse variability are the beginning, not
an afterthought, of accurate empirical metaphor studies.
