The Concept of Domain in the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor
Nordic Journal of Linguistics, 1995In cognitive semantics metaphors are cross-domain mappings in the conceptual system. Thus the notion of domain plays a crucial role in the theory. However, domain is never defined, but taken for granted. By means of data from language acquisition and language production and comprehension I question the cognitive status of the notion of domain ...

Metaphor as Change of Representation: An Interaction Theory of Cognition and Metaphor
1994Imagine a poet comparing hawthorn (a wild flower shrub) to water. What are the similarities between the two? Suppose someone tells you that the ocean is like a harp. What can she possibly mean? How can a harp be similar to the ocean? In each of these cases, there seem to be no similarities between the two objects. Yet, in the poem White Hawthorn in the

Emergent representations, interaction theory and the cognitive force of metaphor
New Ideas in Psychology, 2006Abstract We focus here on the problem of how new representations emerge through a cognitive agent's interaction with the environment. We address this problem within a framework where representation-building mechanisms operate to create new representations against a backdrop of existing representations, and argue that novel and creative metaphors in ...

Parables: Crossroads Between the Cognitive Theory of Metaphor and Argumentation Theory

They are defined by their perlocutionary purpose, meaning that they typically aim to convey a moral or spiritual teaching. This meaning is an indirect meaning, in the sense that it is inferred under structural and contextual constraints.

THE ROLE OF COGNITIVE THEORY IN TRANSLATION OF METAPHORICAL SCIENTIFIC TERMS
SOCIETY. INTEGRATION. EDUCATION. Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference, 2019My aim is to have a closer look at the benefits of a cognitive linguistic approach to scientific discourse, its metaphorical terms and their translation. This area of research has emerged over recent decades. What role do metaphors play in science and terminology? Why do metaphors appear in scientific terms? The reasons are cognitive.

Metaphor and Symbol, 2007
Darwin's book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (henceforth The Origin) abounds with metaphors. In fact, the very theory of natural selection is couched in a system of metaphors that exhibit striking consistency and coherence. I argue that the phenomenon for which Darwin tries to detect the basic mechanisms, that is, biological ...

The aim of this article is to propose a usage-based model of linguistic metaphors. Unlike Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT), the model rests on the premises that a data-driven approach is more telling about the cognitive conceptualizations of individuals than a theory-driven one.
