Metaphor Modeling on the Semantic Web
2007Metaphor is a high-level abstract concept that can be an important part of active conceptual modeling. In this paper, we use the extended Unified Modeling Language (UML) for metaphor modeling. We discuss how to create UML diagrams to capture knowledge about metaphors. The metaphor-based processing system on the Semantic Web can support new query/search

This chapter discusses the role of metaphors and models in structuring our view of the world. I will touch on some of the same topics that John Kay, interestingly, mentioned earlier. Let me begin by saying why I first become interested in the subject.

Mathematical modeling and the neuroscience of metaphor
SPIE Proceedings, 2008We look at a characterization of metaphor from cognitive linguistics, extracting the salient features of metaphorical processing. We examine the neurobiology of dendrites, specifically spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), and the modulation of backpropagating action potentials (bAPs), to generate a neuropil-centric model of cortical processing ...

International Review of Financial Analysis, 2003
Abstract Quantitative models in the social science of finance such as the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Black–Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM) are metaphors. They cannot be applied literally, but do provide us with figurative knowledge—an epistemologically meaningful form that might legitimately be called a “useful framework,” as the ...

On Clocks, Models and Metaphors
2011In the present paper, the role of metaphors and models in scientific theories is discussed, with particular focus on the klepsydraic model of internal time representation and on the ‘internal clock model'. The conceptual background and the basic principles of the klepsydraic model are explained, and its non-computational character is emphasized.

Metaphorical Models in Chemistry
Journal of Chemical Education, 1995Others have said that metaphors are pervasive in, and indispensable to, scientific practice. If one accepts this claim, it is important to ask what the consequences might be of failing to recognize that a given scientific assertion, or scientific model, is metaphorical rather than literal.

The tendency to elevate music to the status of a model for another art is not specific to film and has a very long history. Although the notion of music as the greatest art to which all other arts aspire has often been regarded as distinctly Romantic, music has always held a rather special place in the history of human culture. Abstract, perishable and

The English Journal, 1988
fortable fact, I began to look at movies and television in a new light. I knew that motion pictures had helped to shape my view of life, and that they even taught me how to act. After all, hadn't I learned how to light a lady's cigarette-and much else-by watching the actions of my favorite movie stars?

A reinforcement model of metaphor
Speech Monographs, 1972The persuasive effectiveness of metaphor may be accounted for, in part, by the evaluative responses which the receiver has to the verbal stimulus used metaphorically, and by the referents for the verbal stimulus. Through mediational processes, the listener resolves incongruent evaluations and arrives at the new meaning response for the metaphor.

Modeling Abstractness and Metaphoricity
Metaphor and Symbol, 2015This paper presents and evaluates a model of how the abstractness of source and target concepts influences metaphoricity, the property of how metaphoric a linguistic metaphoric expression is. The purpose of this is to investigate the long-standing claim that metaphoric mappings are from less abstract concepts to more abstract concepts.
