The review concerns Chiara Nasti’s 2012 book Images of the Lisbon Treaty Debate in the British Press: A Corpus Based approach to Metaphor Analysis. The main topic of Nasti’s study is the distribution of the highest frequency conceptual metaphors in the British press coverage of the Lisbon Treaty. The research is based on the articles from fourteen newspapers issued from fall 2007 to winter 2009. It discusses such aspects as the methodology developed within Cognitive Linguistics framework, in particular the aspect of its qualitative and quantitative analysis of linguistic concepts, the input of theoretical vs empirical approaches, as well as the application of corpus techniques to the analysis of conceptual metaphors.
