User-Interface Metaphors in Theory and Practice
User-interface metaphors are a widely used, but poorly understood, technique employed in almost all graphical user-interfaces. Although considerable research has gone into the applications of the technique, little work has been performed on the analysis of the concept itself. In this thesis, user-interface metaphor is defined and classified in considerable detail so as to make it more understan...
متن کاملMetaphors in Wordnets: From Theory to Practice
WordNet-like resources enhanced with a more systematic, consistent and efficient way of encoding data related to metaphors should improve the performance of a number of applications. As for the methodology to be followed, we stress two basic points: 1) the necessity of adding corpora as data sources and 2) the necessity of adopting a well-established and generally accepted theoretical framework...

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 کاملMetaphors and Type Theory
Metaphorical use of language is often thought to be at odds with compositional, truth-conditional approaches to semantics: after all metaphors are literally false. In this paper we sketch an approach to simple metaphors based on standard type theory. The approach is classical: we do not invent a new logic. The approach models sense extension in that a supertype extends the predicate given in a ...
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...
