Canine in Conversation: Dogs In Metaphor and Idiom

Description: This site explores the ways in which references to dogs are used in vernacular English, especially as they reveal social dynamics in the contemporary United States.

The subject is also broadly addressed in the keynote essay, 'Dog as Self and Other.' Illustrations provide visual analogies to the references, depictions of the applications of terms, visual representations of things described or referred to in the written texts, and commentary on usage and definition.
