| | Extended, global or conceptual metaphors map concepts from one domain to another and are elementally described by Lakoff and Turner (177) as source, target and ground and by Pulaczewska (63) as donor and recipient. | | | She asserts that the use of metaphor is entrenched in theoretical and practical application of physics,
that we are compelled to use the words of common language when we wish to describe a phenomenon, not by logical or mathematical analysis, but by a picture appealing to the imagination. | | | Metaphors crucial role as a constructive mechanism that supports community and embodies ideas is evidence that, concern (s) generalizations that govern the use of words and of inference patterns, and we feel that the theory is overwhelmingly supported by such evidence. |

| | Glossary of Terms |
| | Metaphoricity has to do with particular aspects of conceptual structure. | | | This theory allows a new dimension to be added to metaphor, however: "it is misleading to think of concepts as a whole as being either all metaphorical or non-metaphorical. | | | In metaphor, the turn is the substitution of one term for the other; in metonymy it is the association of one object with the other; in synecdoche it is the connection between part and whole, or the nature of that connection; in irony it is the connection between the overt and the hidden meaning. |

| | Mixed Market Metaphors By William Saletan |
| | Here's a rundown of the models circulating in this week's coverage, with their implications, their conceptual flaws, and the ugliest mixed metaphors to which they've been attached. | | | Worst mixed metaphor: "If the latest sell-off represents the bulk of investors throwing in the towel on tech stocks, the bottom could be reached sooner rather than later." | | | However, a couple of metaphors were incorrectly labeled. |

| | Mixing Memory: Lakoff's View of Metaphors |
| | The first involves the role of embodiment in conceptual metaphors, a role that is required for the theory to work (e.g., to explain the seemingly arbitrary choices of metaphors). | | | The last, and perhaps most important criticism of conceptual metaphor theory, particularly from the perspective of political theorists and practitioners who would want to use the theory to better frame political concepts, is that there it offers very little in the form of mechanisms. | | | Obviously, we are embodied agents, and all of our conceptual representations are influenced by this embodiment, but there is no evidence that this influence is metaphorical, or that the relationships between concepts move in a single direction (from more embodied to less so). |

| | George Lakoff asserts that conceptual metaphors are not simply matters of language: "The locus of metaphor is not in language at all, but in the way we conceptualize one mental domain in terms of another. | | | The two basic metaphors for change are related in this sense: In what we will call the location metaphor, the entity undergoing the change is conceptualized as moving from a location identified by one set of properties to another with different properties ("The oxide went from normal to superconducting at a pretty high temperature"). | | | Note that Lakoff here refers to metaphor as a conceptualization process. |

| | Conceptual metaphors are constituted by what are termed "mappings." Mappings are fixed conceptual correspondences between a source and a target domain. | | | It is precisely the same kind of cognitive function that conceptual metaphors have in "normal" cases for "normal" people, but this function is especially foregrounded in and relevant to the "deviant" cases encountered in psychotherapeutic and psychoanalytic practice. | | | What I call the "sub-individual" level of metaphor is the level at which the conceptualization of a domain (the target) by means of another conceptual domain (the source) is made natural and motivated for speakers. |

| | The theory of conceptual metaphor, which holds that much--or perhaps most--human thinking is essentially metaphorical in nature, has been one of the most influential intellectual developments of the last quarter century. | | | Like psychoanalysis, the theory of conceptual metaphor focuses on the nature of mental processes (in particular of unconscious mental processes) as they are revealed in language and other symbolic activities. | | | As these three essays demonstrate, the theory of conceptual metaphor both fosters greater awareness of the phenomenon and provides a new conceptualization (or contextualization) of it, thus creating the possibility of deeper, more acute understanding. |

| | BLENDING AND METAPHOR |
| | If conceptual metaphor theory is primarily concerned with well-established metaphoric associations between concepts, and blending theory focuses on the ability to combine elements from familiar conceptualizations into new and meaningful ones, then conceptual metaphors are among the stable structures available for exploitation by the blending process. | | | Like metaphors, the conceptual blend underlying this sentence involves counterparts, construed as crucially different, which are fused in the blended space; a single entity there corresponds to a different person in each of the inputs. | | | As a result, the metaphorical mapping between the nation and the ship, the nation's history and the ship's course over the sea, and so forth, is now stored in memory and provides a trigger that allows conceptual blending to proceed, including the kinds of creative conceptual manipulation we examined in the last section. |

| | chapter 6 Sapper |
| | Sapper operates in a bottom-up fashion, and thereby complements the top-down strategy of conceptual scaffolding developed in the last chapter to yield a comprehensive account of the metaphor phenomenon, at both a lexical semantics and a deep conceptual level. | | | This stage is essentially that portion of Sapper which has been thusfar described: activation is spread from the localist nodes corresponding to the tenor and vehicle concepts of the metaphor, and those elements of memory which are activated are considered to be relevant to the interpretation. | | | As described thusfar, the conceptual scaffolding stage of interpretation presents Sapper with a concept association upon which to elaborate, and by means of spreading activation in a localist network representation of memory, the appropriate elements of background world knowledge are activated and brought to bear on this elaboration task. |

| | chapter 3 Figuralist issues |
| | In denying the substitution view of the literalists, it is the figuralist position that metaphor is more than an isolated burst of linguistic ingenuity, a colourful exclamation of a novel perspective, but a glimpse into the underlying conceptual structure of a domain. | | | In denying the validity of the literalist position, both in holding that there is no absolute substrate of literal meaning in the mind, and in allowing metaphor to occur at all levels of our conceptual representations, are we in effect claiming that all language is metaphorical? | | | The previous chapter has presented the case against the literalist view of metaphor comprehension, concluding that the notion of an absolute literal substrate is logically unsound. |
