Relevance theory challenges the traditional view of context, proposes the concept of cognitive context and a new inferential model. Its explanation of metaphor from the cognitive perspective is rather different from other metaphor theories. By discussing relevance theory’s views on context and metaphor respectively, this paper, based on the researches of contemporary scholars and pragmatists on...

Metaphor is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also reflects the concept projection between source and target domains in human cognition. Previous sequence tagging-based metaphor identification methods could model projection, resulting limitation that outputs of these models are unexplainable predictions metaphoricity labels. In this work, we propose first explainable model, inspired by Conce...

The organism group focuses on the dynamic relationship of organization and environment and...

I then argue for three ways games function in relation to ideological frames: reinforcement, contestation, and exposition through examples of political games (T...

In Neo-Darwinism, mutation can be considered to be unaffected by selection pressure. This is the metaphor generally used by the genetic algorithm for its treatment of the mutation operation, which is usually regarded as a background operator. This metaphor, however, does not take into account the fact that mutation has been shown to be affected by external events. In this paper, we propose a mu...
