A Cognitive Study of Conceptual Metaphors in English and Persian: Universal or Culture-Specific?
In the last 2 decades, studies on conceptual metaphors have profoundly increased. The development in this field was followed by Lakoff and Johnson's (1980b) work on describing the conceptual role played by metaphors and their correspondence with language and thought. This study aimed to compare conceptual metaphors in Persian and English through a corpus-based approach as well as examining both...
متن کاملA Formal Cognitive Model of Mathematical Metaphors
Starting from the observation by Lakoff and Núñez (2000) that the process for mathematical discoveries is essentially one of creating metaphors, we show how Information Flow theory (Barwise & Seligman, 1997) can be used to formalise the basic metaphors for arithmetic that ground the basic concepts in the human embodied nature. 1 The Cognition of Mathematics Mathematics is most commonly seen as ...

Developments in Research on Mathematical Practice and Cognition
We describe recent developments in research on mathematical practice and cognition and outline the nine contributions in this special issue of topiCS. We divide these contributions into those that address (a) mathematical reasoning: patterns, levels, and evaluation; (b) mathematical concepts: evolution and meaning; and (c) the number concept: representation and processing.
