The visuality of metaphors

Cognitive Linguistic Studies, 2020
Abstract This chapter proposes to define metaphor as a visual-material structure, the sphere of which is ontological rather than cognitive or conceptual. It argues that the essence of metaphor, as either an aesthetic or a communicative unit or both, resides in the qualitative dimension and appearance, or even materiality, of the metaphorical medium and

Processing visual metaphor

Metaphor and the Social World, 2013
This article explores the mental operations people undertake when they encounter a visual metaphor. First, an integrated theoretical model of visual metaphor processing is proposed. The model is then empirically evaluated: in a think aloud task, six participants were presented with twelve pictures containing visual metaphor and asked to verbalize their

Visual Metaphors and Aesthetics

2022
This book offers a new definition of metaphor—as an ontological and visual construction, whose roots are external visual forms, and its motivation is our attachment to forms. This definition, which Michalle Gal names “visualist,” challenges the ruling conceptualist theory of metaphors and places a new emphasis on how we experience rather than ...

Visualizing Metaphor: Teaching Metaphor to Conceptualize Personal Experiences

Journal Ishraqat Tanmawya, 2021
Language power lies behind the iconicity of metaphor, which evokes sensory perceptions and integrates them into meaningful constellations selectively. This selective process makes it possible to conceptualize experiences and also to link new and prior experiences.

How Object Shape Affects Visual Metaphor Processing

Experimental Psychology, 2012
In order to interpret novel metaphoric relations, we have to construct ad hoc categories under which the metaphorically related concepts can be subsumed. Shape is considered to be one of the primary vehicles of object categorization. Accordingly, shape might play a prominent role in interpreting visual metaphors (i.e., two metaphorically related ...

Reasoning with visual metaphors

The Knowledge Engineering Review, 2013
AbstractResearch into visual reasoning up to now has focused on images that are literal depictions of their objects. I argue in this article that an important further mode of visual reasoning operates on images that depict objects metaphorically. Such images form part of the class of expressive symbols: they are found, for example, in allegorical ...

Visual and Verbal Metaphoric Conceptualization

2010
In three tasks (similarity rating, feature production, sentence judgment), respondents were asked to exploit the metaphoric potential of either visual or verbal object pairs. The results showed that respondents rated the similarity of visual pairs higher than verbal pairs. Respondents also produced more perceptual and conceptual correspondences between

Dynamic Graph Visualization with Multiple Visual Metaphors

Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction, 2015
Visualizing dynamic graphs is challenging due to the many data dimensions to be displayed such as graph vertices and edges with their attached weights or attributes and the additional time dimension. Moreover, edge directions with multiplicities and the graph topology are also important inherent features.
