I was just reading about language and metaphor. I’ve ordered Lakoff’s book and look forward to reading it.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Latore’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_In_Action
and the classic http://www.amazon.com/Metaphors-We-Live-George-Lakoff/dp/0226468011

I heard about this book late in my soc. program… say ~10+ yrs ago… but never got around to reading it. If you liked it, I can probably point you to a stream of Wittgenstein-influenced social scientists :)
