Abstract

ABSTRACT This article tackles the tricky problem of identifying metaphors in language that includes prepositions. We demonstrate how the Procedure for Identifying Metaphorical Scenes (PIMS) reflected and evoked by linguistic expressions in discourse, Johansson Falck & Okonski, accepted) can be used to identify metaphorical relations reflected in language. The scenes evoked correspond to conceptualizations that are directly attested by the specific linguistic constructions in the sentences under analysis. We present two studies that test the reliability of the procedure and the sensitivity of the tool for prepositions. Results show that PIMS provides a simple procedure that increases both reliability and sensitivity for prepositional constructions. By focusing on the scenes evoked by linguistic constructions, the procedure highlights the contextual meanings of the constructions and the specific experiences that they code.

识别隐喻场景的程序:以空间和抽象关系为例
本文探讨了在包含介词的语言中识别隐喻的棘手问题。我们论证了语言表达在话语中反映和唤起的隐喻场景识别程序(PIMS) (Johansson Falck & Okonski,已被接受)如何用于识别语言中反映的隐喻关系。被唤起的场景对应于被分析句子中的特定语言结构直接证实的概念化。我们提出了两个研究,测试程序的可靠性和敏感性的工具的介词。结果表明,PIMS提供了一个简单的程序,提高了介词结构的可靠性和灵敏度。通过关注语言结构所唤起的场景,该程序突出了结构的语境意义和它们所编码的具体经验。

期刊介绍: Metaphor and Symbol: A Quarterly Journal is an innovative, multidisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of metaphor and other figurative devices in language (e.g., metonymy, irony) and other expressive forms (e.g., gesture and bodily actions, artworks, music, multimodal media). The journal is interested in original, empirical, and theoretical research that incorporates psychological experimental studies, linguistic and corpus linguistic studies, cross-cultural/linguistic comparisons, computational modeling, philosophical analyzes, and literary/artistic interpretations. A common theme connecting published work in the journal is the examination of the interface of figurative language and expression with cognitive, bodily, and cultural experience; hence, the journal''s international editorial board is composed of scholars and experts in the fields of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, computer science, literature, and media studies.
