I am writring my dissertation on lexicology, based on word-formation processes in english in the dialogues of the novel We Need New Names written by Noviolet Bulawayo. I want to focus on metaphor
knowing that word-formation studies the structures and the meaning of words, as well as the rules and patterns that govern their formation. So metaphore is related top word formation because it involves changing of the context of an existion word or expression to make new word or expression. So i want to study the metaphorical aspects of the dialogues used in the novel.
