邱舟艳所著的《新奇隐喻在语言交际中之效力--语用和心理视角》建立在Geoffrey Leech有效语言交际的框架之上，具体基于其中篇章修辞的表达力原则和人际修辞的礼貌原则，以语用视角为主、心理视角为辅探讨了新奇隐喻体现在语言交际中的效力。本书试图完成三项任务：探寻新奇隐喻的效力是什么，如何阐释这些效力，探究这些效力何以产生。

邱舟艳所著的《新奇隐喻在语言交际中之效力--语用和心理视角》旨在构建一个关于新奇隐喻在语言交际中之效力的理论。在Geoffrey Leech有效语言交际的理论框架之上，主要将采用语用和心理这两个视角来广泛深入地探讨新奇隐喻体现在语言交际中的效力。本书适合中英文语言学方向和文学方向的研究者参考阅读。
