The article is a critical reflection of Maria Lai's fundamental work, Legarsi alla montagna, which is collective and <> in its pioneering involvement of the inhabitants of a small Sardinian village ...(Ulassai) into a unique human and aesthetic experience that took place on September 8, 1981. The return home of the small protagonist of the story becomes a metaphor for the cathartic and healing power of art and for finding oneself on the fragile territory of artistic inspiration. L'articolo e una riflessione critica sulla fondamentale opera di Maria Lai Legarsi alla montagna, collettiva e <> nel pioneristico coinvolgimento degli abitanti di un piccolo paese della Sardegna (Ulassai) in un'irripetibile esperienza umana ed estetica, l'otto di settembre del 1981. Il ritorno a casa della piccola protagonista della storia assurge a metafora dell'azione catartica e salvifica dell'arte e di un ritrovare se stessi sui fragili territori dell'ispirazione artistica.
Metaphors are figurative expressions frequently appearing daily. Given its significance in downstream natural language processing tasks such as machine translation and sentiment analysis, ...computational metaphor processing has led to an upsurge in the community. The progress of Artificial Intelligence has incentivized several technological tools and frameworks in this domain. This article aims to comprehensively summarize and categorize previous computational metaphor processing approaches regarding metaphor identification, interpretation, generation, and application. Though studies on metaphor identification have made significant progress, metaphor understanding, conceptual metaphor processing, and metaphor generation still need in-depth analysis. We hope to identify future directions for prospective researchers based on comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the previous works.

El académico Fernando Lázaro Carreter llamaba "dardos" a aquellos usos incorrectos del lenguaje, entuertos que el renombrado filólogo trataba de desfacer en su célebre El dardo en la palabra, cuyo ...éxito propicio la aparición de un segundo volumen de gazapos. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando la violentada no es una palabra o expresión, sino una metáfora?
Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, there have been thousands of articles on the use of metaphor to describe the crisis. A Google search yields more than 7000 hits. Indeed, an avalanche of ...metaphors has already been used to describe the Covid-19 pandemic. From war and oceanic metaphors to the dreaded phrase ‘ramping up’, the language and images used by politicians, journalists, scientific experts, commentators, artists, comedians, and meme-makers to understand the crisis are not neutral constructs. But far more disappointing than the use of inappropriate or politically incorrect metaphors is the fact that there is no single scholarly article that systematically studies the influence of the pandemic on cognition, especially metaphorical conceptualization. That is, how has the coronavirus pandemic changed the meaning of home, love, Halloween, social media platforms, and so on for us? Technically speaking, how has the crisis triggered, prompted, or simply facilitated the selection and employment of particular conceptual metaphors or their linguistic and non-linguistic manifestations? This article, based on a large-scale corpus of political cartoons, aims to answer that question – how the pandemic itself becomes a metaphor. I show that various different metaphor targets (including WAR, ISRAEL, TURKEY, DONALD TRUMP, BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, ARAB DICTATORS, THE KUWAITI NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, THE JORDANIAN CABINET, THE IRANIAN REGIME, MILITANT GROUPS, POVERTY, RACISM, CALENDAR, CORRUPTION, INJUSTICE, RUMORS, POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS, THE GLOBE, THE UNION JACK, THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE US FAR RIGHT, THE 50 STARS OF THE AMERCAN FLAG, US-RUSSIAN RELATIONS, HOUSEWIVES, PERSONAL BELONGINGS, LOVE, QURBAN BAYRAM, CHRISTMAS, HALLOWEEN, ARABIC DRAMA, SCHOOL BAG, AWARENESS, and SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES such as Facebook, among many others) are all explained with reference to coronavirus-related terms or the source domain of CORONAVIRUS/VACCINATION. The sheer frequency of occurrences of CORONAVIRUS metaphors (a total of 175 out of 497 relevant multimodal cartoons, that is, more than 35%) demonstrates and makes a case for the necessity to examine the effect of context, in particular topical news and physical circumstances, in the cognitive linguistic study of creative metaphor. In short, the results provide initial evidence that new viruses and diseases such as Covid-19 have a negative and significant effect on cognition (or shape societies’ worldviews).
Realidad; Representación; Ontologismo; Crítica antropológica Abstract Addressing recent debates that have arisen between Mesoamericanist anthropology and those of an ontological nature, the present ...work illustrates the issues implied by the superficial treatment of the notion of reality in the discourse of our subjects of study. Through a critical review of some of the proposals that have had the greatest impact in our region of study, it becomes clear' that the different in which that we conceive reality directly impinge upon the relations that we establish with alterity. ...several historical and ethnographic cases are examined to underscore the importance of the distinction between reality and representation to truly grasp the indigenous perspective.
