In 2010, he defended his PhD dissertation in the field of Communication and Information Sciences at Radboud University Nijmegen. Since 2009, he has worked at the Department of Communication Studies, first as a Lecturer and an Assistant Professor, and currently as an Associate Professor. 

Britta C. Brugman, PhD Candidate & Lecturer at Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Britta's research focuses on how metaphorical frames work in voters’ political decision-making. She also teaches political science in the bachelor program Philosophy, Politics & Economics.

Kiki Renardel de Lavalette, 

Gerard J. Steen, professor of Speech Communication, Argumentation and Rhetoric at the Department of Dutch at the University of Amsterdam. Before then, he was professor of Language Use and Cognition at VU University Amsterdam from 2007 through 2013, and professor of Language and Communication at that same university from 2013 through 2014. His main research interest is metaphor in discourse.

This article introduces the Hyperbole Identification Procedure (HIP), a first systematic method for identifying linguistic hyperbole in discourse. We start by comparing existing definitions of linguistic hyperbole. Based on the commonalities shared by these definitions, we provide our operational definition of hyperbole as “an expression that is more extreme than justified given its ontological referent.” The next section argues why it is useful to identify hyperbole, as with metaphor in Metaphor Identification Procedure Vrije Universiteit (MIPVU), at the level of lexical units, and subsequently introduces the steps of HIP. We follow up with two sample analyses of HIP in practice. This article used library study.

In this article, we introduced the HIP, a method that can be used to identify linguistic. hyperbole.in corpus research. We started out with comparing existing definitions of hyperbole. Based oncommonalities of the different approaches, we presented our operational definition of hyperboleas “an expression that is more extreme than justified given its ontological referent. 

” This definition then formed the basis of the steps coders can take when applying Reliability analyses, finally, showed that HIP is reliable in application when used by twotrained coders.As such, HIP can join the growing arsenal of methodological tools like MIP (Pragglejaz Group,2007), MIPVU (Steen et al., 2010a), and VIP (Burgers et al., 2011) which scholars can use whenconducting corpus analyses of figurative language types. Furthermore, by specifically choosing tomake HIP compatible with MIPVU and with VIP, scholars interested in combinations of two ormore of these tropes can select the procedures of interest. HIP can help scholars interested inhyperbole in corpus research in making their codings more robust.Like any coding procedure, HIP starts out from a basic unit of analysis, which in the case of HIP implies that hyperboles are coded at the level of lexical units. Like metaphors, some hyperboles may also occur  a to the level so analysis. Forinstance One of the advantages of a coding procedure like HIP is that it can bring such examples to the fore. To the best of our knowledge, the notion of hyperbole spanning multiple lexical units has not yet been discussed in the literature. When applying HIP, such examples are also taken into account, because each of the four lexical units comprising the hyperbole would be coded as hyperbolic.In some cases, speakers may be intentionally vague or ambiguous which may make it difficult to determine whether or not they use hyperbole (or not). Nevertheless, the steps of HIP help the coder in reducing such ambiguity. First, the coder is required to read the entire text before the start of coding (step 1 of HIP) so that they get an idea of the general position and point of the author.Second, in case the text is under specified about the topic at hand, coders can use additional real-world information from sources like the dictionary and Wikipedia to help them in making their coding  decisions. 

HIP will increase interest in the study of hyperbole in discourse, and stimulate corpus analysts to consider hyperbole in their projects and analyses.

The strengthen of this article is the researcher uses some examples and step how to method for linguistic hyperbole identification in discourse and references.

The weakness of this article is the hard to understand.

The conclusion this article recommended to read for group not indivual because need high anylzed.
