Conceptual Metaphors of the “Self”
The increasing interest in embodied cognition has heightened the need for cognitive models that reflect the relationship of the body with the physical world. Issues of particular interest have to do with the notion of “Self.” According to Lakoff and Johnson (1999), there is no unified way to conceptualize our inner life, as the metaphors we use to understand the Self are intrinsically inconsist...
متن کاملERP evidence for conceptual mappings and comparison processes during the comprehension of conventional and novel metaphors.
Cognitive linguists suggest that understanding metaphors requires activation of conceptual mappings between the involved concepts. We tested whether mappings are indeed in use during metaphor comprehension, and what mapping means as a cognitive process with Event-Related Potentials. Participants read literal, conventional metaphorical, novel metaphorical, and anomalous target sentences preceded...
متن کاملMental Representation, Conceptual Spaces and Metaphors
What is the form of mental representation? One very influential contemporary answer to this question starts from the assumption that the brain functions like a Turing machine. This assumption, which is basically a metaphor, provides the foundation for much theoretical speculation in cognitive science and related fields. According to one version of the computer metaphor, the atoms of mental repr...
متن کاملMetaphors, Conceptual Models and Evolutionary Epistemology
Starting from views on traditional metaphor and mental/conceptual model theory this paper describes the possible influence of the »evolutionary epistemology« (EE) theory to the HCI theory base. This theory is particularly important to HCI especially because of its culture independence on the proposed basis and its coverage of unconscious processes. The first had been a long struggle and still i...
متن کاملModeling connections between linguistic constructions and conceptual metaphors
In cognitive studies on metaphor, the elements and relations responsible for the linguistic instantiations of conceptual metaphors are investigated on the conceptual level of crossdomain mappings. Though the cognitive approach devises strategies to model the inference patterns necessary to understand metaphorical constructions, it has not devised machinery to model the links between metaphorica...
