In her discussion of "Mask Up," Annie Lee Jones pressures the two main metaphors in the essay, masks and masquerade, to ask what kinds of stories they license, articulating an important set of ...concerns for what the metaphors may obscure. The response considers oversights in the original essay and offers additional material to extend the conversation.
Cet article traite du sens métaphorique des expressions complexes. Il part du constat que la Théorie de la Métaphore Conceptuelle et la Théorie de l’Intégration Conceptuelle échouent à expliquer le ...processus à la base de l’émergence du sens des expressions multi-métaphoriques. D’une part, la Théorie de la Métaphore Conceptuelle n’explique pas la nature de la combinaison des métaphores à la base du sens des expressions complexes. D’autre part, la Théorie de l’Intégration Conceptuelle ne pose pas que les espaces mentaux comportent des éléments métaphoriques. Notre objectif est de fusionner ces deux théories en un modèle étendu. Ce modèle postule que l’intégration conceptuelle opère sur des espaces mentaux métaphoriques et génère des métaphores nouvelles qui structurent le sens des expressions et déterminent leurs forces illocutionnaires spécifiques. Nous appliquerons ce modèle à l’expression proverbiale « Jelly in a vise » et au proverbe « Pierre qui roule n’amasse pas mousse ». Ce choix est motivé par la pluralité de sens qui leur est reconnue dans la littérature sur le sujet.
Towards an extended model of the conceptual integration of multi-metaphoric expressions.
The paper deals with metaphorical meaning of complex expressions. It is based on some weakness Conceptual metaphor Theory and Blending Theory show in handling multi-metaphoricity. On the one hand, Conceptual Metaphor Theory fails to explain how metaphors underlying a complex expression combine and yield its metaphorical meaning. On the other, in investigating multi-metaphoricity, Blending Theory does not suppose that mental spaces of conceptual networks are metaphorical in character. Our aim is to combine both models into a broad approach which will turn out to be more consistent with the complex structure of multi-metaphorical expressions. The model’s originality resides in conceiving of mental spaces as being populated by metaphorical rather than nonmetaphorical elements. Blending processes give rise to blended metaphors the role of which is to frame multi-metaphorical expressions’ meanings and to determine their specific illocutionary forces. We will apply this model to the proverbial expression “Jelly in a vise” and to the proverb “A rolling stone gathers no moss”. Such a choice is motivated by the many readings these proverbs have been shown to involve.
In the last decade, the problem of computational metaphor processing has garnered immense attention from the domains of computational linguistics and cognition. A wide panorama of approaches, ranging ...from a hand-coded rule system to deep learning techniques, have been proposed to automate different aspects of metaphor processing. In this article, we systematically examine the major theoretical views on metaphor and present their classification. We discuss the existing literature to provide a concise yet representative picture of computational metaphor processing. We conclude the article with possible research directions.
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.
