This book is a philosophical guide on metaphor use. Previous research concerning metaphors has focused on either the theoretical-linguistic problems or the uses in specific research fields. Although these domains share some common interests, there has been little cross-communication. The aim of this volume is to bridge the gap between the theoretical and the empirical side of the research on metaphor use, by analysing the role of metaphor over different domains of use. Therefore, while adopti...

'Metaphor', a form of figurative language in which one thing or idea is expressed in terms of another, is becoming an increasingly popular area of study, as it is relevant to the work of semanticists, pragmatists, discourse analysts and also those working at the interface of language and literature and in other disciplines such as philosophy and psychology. This book provides a summary, critique and comparison of the most important theories on how metaphors are used and understood, drawing on research from linguistics, psychology and other disciplines. In order to ground the discussion in actual language use, the book uses examples from discourse, including casual conversations, political speeches, literature, humor, religion and science. Written in a non-technical style, the book includes clear definitions, examples, discussion questions and a glossary, making it ideal for graduate-level seminars.

Im Band »Zugänge zu Metaphern - Übergänge durch Metaphern« werden aktuelle theoretische und empirische Forschungsansätze aus Geistes-, Sozial- und Kognitionswissenschaften präsentiert und jeweils fachfremd kommentiert. Auf diese Weise werden einerseits die disziplinären Perspektiven auf metaphorische Strukturen konturiert. Andererseits treten im Vergleich Gemeinsamkeiten unterschiedlicher Domänen hervor, welche die Potentiale einer interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Metaphernforschung aufzeigen. Vor allem wird deutlich, dass die Komplexität der Metapher sowohl die Berücksichtigung struktureller Aspekte des textlichen Phänomens als auch die Fokussierung individueller Rezeptionsbedingungen erfordert.

Was jij een lezertje, zoals Jan Leyers? Of was je gek op dieren, zoals Inge Vervotte? Speelde je graag poppenkast en deed je niets liever dan verhaaltjes vertellen, zoals Goedele Liekens? Of zong je de hele dag voor de spiegel, zoals Jo Lemaire? Je favoriete speelgoed en de dingen die je als kind het liefste deed, zeggen alles over je natuurlijke voorkeuren en de talenten die je hebt. Deze natuurlijke voorkeur is de basis van de KernTalenten-methode, die de grond van je karakter, je talent en je drijfveren blootlegt. Als je in je dagelijkse leven je KernTalenten kunt uitspelen, zit je in een natuurlijke stroom, een flow waarin je je goed voelt omdat alles is zoals het moet zijn. De KernTalentenmethode helpt je je natuurlijke voorkeuren terug te vinden en aan te scherpen. Het ontdekken van jouw favoriete kinderactiviteiten en hoe je die kennis kunt omzetten in het maken van de juiste keuzes, is een verrassende en bijzonder leuke manier om niet alleen de geknipte studie of job, maar ook meer rust en geluk te vinden.

Visual metaphors in a number of Mahayana sutras construct a discourse in which visual perception serves as a model for knowledge and enlightenment. In the Perfection of Wisdom (Prajnaparamita) and other Mahayana literature, immediate access to reality is symbolized by vision and set in opposition to language and conceptual thinking, which are construed as obscuring reality. In addition to its philosophical manifestations, the tension between vision and language also functioned as a strategy of legitimation in the struggle of the early heterodox Mahayana movement for authority and legitimacy.

The contributions in this volume go beyond the Contemporary Theory of Metaphor complementing it in a number of relevant ways. Some of the papers argue for a more dynamic, interdisciplinary approach to metaphor looking into it from semiotic, psychological and socio-cultural perspectives. Other contributions focus on the crucial role played by metaphor and metonymy in meaning construction at a discourse/textual level. Finally, the volume also includes proposals which revolve around the alleged universal nature of metaphorical mappings and their suitability to account for grammatical phenomena.The contributions in this volume display an ample gamut of theoretical approaches pointing to the viability of taking a functional-cognitive stance on the analysis of metaphor and metonymy in contrast to a purely cognitive one.This book is structured into three major sections: i) the Contemporary Theory of Metaphor: revisions and recent developments; ii) metaphor and/or metonymy across different discourse/genre types; and iii) the Contemporary Theory of Metaphor: current applications.

Zwei Aspekte bilden die Grundlage der allgemeinen Symboltheorie, die der amerikanische Philosoph Nelson Goodman in einem seiner Hauptwerke, Languages of Art, als Zentrum seiner analytischen Philosophie entworfen hat: Zum einen setzt jede Symbolisierung Bezugnahme voraus, zum anderen finden sämtliche Arten von Symbolisierung - als Performanzakte - im Bereich zwischen sowohl syntaktisch als auch semantisch eindeutigen (formalen, notationalen) und weder syntaktisch noch semantisch eindeutigen (pikturalen, ,repräsentationalen') Symbolsystemen - kurz, im Spannungsbereich zwischen ,Wissenschaft' und ,Kunst' - statt. Somit muss es einen Bereich geben, in dem diese beiden extremen Weisen von Darstellung ,ineinander übergehen', und genau in diesem Bereich lässt sich, so die zentrale These dieses Buches, das Verfahren der Metaphernbildung lokalisieren. Das hat Konsequenzen für einen tragfähigen Kompetenzbegriff in Wissenschaft und Kunst, für den Kreativitätsbegriff, wirft ein besonderes Licht auf Goodmans Neufassung des Induktionsproblems und letztlich auf das Wesen (philosophischer) Erkenntnis im Allgemeinen...

Frames and constructions in metaphoric language shows how linguistic metaphor piggybacks on certain patterns of constructional meaning that have already been identified and studied in non-metaphoric language. Recognition of these shared semantic structures, and comparison of their roles in metaphoric and non-metaphoric constructions, make it possible to apply findings from Frame Semantics, Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar to understand how conceptual metaphor surfaces in language.
