Ebook: Allegorese als Ambiguierungsverfahren: Eine kognitiv-semantische und diskurstraditionelle Analyse mittelalterlicher romanischer Predigten

This study examines the function of allegorism in a total of 63 Romance language sermons from six 12^th and 13^th century sermon collections. A cognitive-semantic analysis of 250 individual allegories shows the ways that the authors of these sermons found opportunities for interpretative creativity within highly conventional patterns of interpretation.
