Features: Creativity means going beyond the possible to seek the impossible, and cognitive rhetoric resounds loudly with its own linguistic essence—the feature of seeking the impossible. This book explores the cognitive and linguistic structures of rhetorical devices from this perspective, not only constructing an explanatory system for them but also allowing us to see human creative potential and the expression of creativity, as well as how the relationship between humans and the world changes in the process of creation.
