El objetivo de este artículo es medir la simetría entre el español y el inglés en la aplicación de metáforas de forma del vocabulario técnico, por no haber recibido demasiada atención y porque Forceville (2007, 2008, 2012) recomienda estudiar como interactúan con factores culturales o lingüísticos. Como método se ha medido el porcentaje simetría/asimetría en distintas metáforas. La investigación muestra que la simetría entre metáforas del inglés y del español se eleva al 60%, mientras que la asimetría metafórica parcial es originada por un exceso de metaforización (30%) o por metonimia (10%) como muestra de causa-efecto entre dos conceptos.The objective of this article is to measure the symmetry between Spanish and English in the application of technical metaphors of shape. The reason for this is double: they have not received too much attention and Forceville (2007, 2008, 2012) recommends studying how they interact with cultural/linguistic factors. The method has measured percentage of symmetry / asymmetry in different metaphors. Research shows that symmetry between English/Spanish metaphors rises to 60%, whereas partial metaphoric asymmetry is caused by excessive metaphorization (30%) or by metonymy (10%) as a relation of cause-effect between two concepts.

In this paper I am to revisit a classic of women’s writing, Fay Weldon’s Female Friends (1974), in light of the current feminist fourth wave, when the language of sisterhood seems to have been returned to popular discourse. My aim is to examine the complexities surrounding female relations in the novel. I argue that, although Weldon does advance the possibility of sisterhood, she also questions some of the premises that were underlying this term during the second wave. Furthermore, my contention is that the novel addresses the importance of women’s individual agency, a discourse of the third and fourth wave, as a necessary step towards the construction of sisterhood.

Power, slavery, freedom are three words that define some insistently frequent semantic fields in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. These are very large figures: an extraordinary frequency, which is obviously not coincidental. This article aims to show that these three semantic fields define the three main pillars that enable a re-reading of the characters in The Tempest based on the analysis of the life positions of each of them, and ultimately in light of contemporary political thought.

The following article is concerned with the depiction of the social decay of the Edwardian middle class in Patrick Hamilton’s serio-comic inter-war novel Craven House (1926). It is argued that while Hamilton satirises their conservative Weltanschauung, he also associates it with their social downfall. Beginning with an analysis of Hamilton’s own experience as a child of an Edwardian middle-class family, the article proceeds to examine the various facets of the Edwardian worldview that Hamilton satirises. It is concluded that the author’s critique of the Edwardian worldview acts at its core as nothing more than a metaphor for their social disintegration.

: The first decades of the twentieth century in America witnessed the emergence of one of the most famous feminist writers of that time and whose fame disappeared as rapidly as it came: Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1959). Her light and transgressive verse soon placed her as one of the poets that best represented the Roaring Twenties transgressing sexual and social taboos in an America dominated by the figure of the flapper that this writer perfectly embodied. This study delves into Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poetry and the representation of women in her works.

This paper takes a descriptive approach to several properties of Negative Inversion (NI) in Standard English found controversial in prescriptive writings, comparing what has been previously written in the literature with real native English speakers’ grammaticality judgements gathered via a questionnaire. These topics include the disagreement on the optionality of subject-auxiliary (subj-aux) inversion, the different approaches to an accurate syntax analysis, whether NI behaves as a Root Phenomenon (RT) or not, and the inaccurate classification of Only Inversion as a subtype of NI.

Enactive knowledge is knowledge acquired when an organism acts in an environment. Enactivating for the first time any experimental literary text is an awkward cognitive task in a first language/culture L1/C1 environment, but situated in a L2/C2 teaching/learning context it constitutes a real cognitive Gordian knot. This complex sociocognitive situation is framed in a view of language as a central aspect of human socio-cultural situatedness. From a general view of cognition as action, in this paper we are concerned with the organization of a method that facilitates this challenging teaching/learning situation: a culture-specific L1 Spanish learning process of a L2 experimental English literary text in Tertiary Education in Gran Canaria (Spain). The case study described here explores the crosslinguistic and crosscultural conditions in which Spanish undergraduates understand the way English experimental writers think, during tasks of reading 17th or 20th c. English texts from the Enlightenment, Modernism, and Postmodernism. So far, related Spanish academic practices have mostly relied on unidirectional conduit and transmission metaphors, thus breaking the conceptual, linguistic, and cultural organization of original texts that further artfully break the organization of ordinary English language to enhance the reader’s perception of other living minds and experiences. Both Cognitive Poetics and its more dynamicist extension Biopoetics seem to be a true-to-life methodological framework for a unifying reading of texts from different cultures, times and genres. Moreover, Cognitive Semantics resumes 17th c. foundational inquiries related to thought, language and culture, as altered by human perception, in the most advanced transversal framework of Cognitive Sciences. This paper is initially framed within a contrastive Conceptual Metaphor dynamics of meaning and knowledge of the World constructions in search of a congruent first immersion by L1/C1 Spanish students into the cultural differences of these innovative L2/C2 English texts.

and Abstract: The objective of this article is to measure the symmetry between Spanish and English in the application of technical metaphors of shape. The reason for this is double: they have not received too much attention and Forceville (2007, 2008, 2012) recommends studying how they interact with cultural/linguistic factors. The method has measured percentage of symmetry / asymmetry in different metaphors. Research shows that symmetry between English/Spanish metaphors rises to 60%, whereas partial metaphoric asymmetry is caused by excessive metaphorization (30%) or by metonymy (10%) as a relation of cause-effect between two concepts. casting of metals and alloys. When used for casting, coquilles are used specifically for casting using gravity. This means that the mould is preheated and molten metal is poured into it, so that the metal may solidify into the negative shape of the mould.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Irish Catholic Church adopted and spread a gendered moral discourse to educate women in chastity, purity and passivity. In the twenty-first century, this religious discourse has been maintained and reinforced with the medicalisation of women’s bodies and the pressure put on female subjects to become mothers. Following feminist and resilience studies, we will analyse Martina Devlin’s short story “Alice through the Bathroom Mirror” (2003) to see how the female body is objectified, dehumanised and pathologized by men, and how gender expectations can be challenged by resisting subordination and objectification.
