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.
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。

ABSTRACT A scoping review was conducted to explore the metaphors and related expressions older adults use to describe extremely stressful events that may lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (CPTSD), Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD), or Adjustment Disorder (AjD). Relevant databases from psychology, gerontology, and related fields were searched. In addition, relevant references found in included papers were considered. Inclusion criteria were: qualitative study, sample of older adults (age 65+), and focus on maladaptive rather than adaptive psychological aspects. Eleven studies focusing on PTSD, 5 on CPTSD, 13 on PGD, and 10 on AjD were included. Metaphors and other expressions related to extremely stressful events were then extracted and analyzed. Multiple linguistic expressions to describe extremely stressful events and stress-related symptoms were identified. Metaphors and related expressions often referred to the body and the theme of moving on with one’s life.

ABSTRACT This study investigates metaphor in its role to mediate concepts in academic textbooks and promote content understanding in the English-medium instruction (EMI) context. Of particular interest is how the language of the discourse affected and possibly hindered metaphor comprehension. Drawing on the theoretical insights found in sociocultural theory and cognitive linguistics, a stance was assumed in which language is treated as embodied and contextual, and verbalizing thoughts (languaging) assists understanding. Three pairs of Japanese students with varying English proficiency levels were invited to participate in online group-based think-aloud protocols where they read and discussed selected paragraphs taken from two social and two natural science textbooks written in English. After accessing the participants’ general knowledge about the main topic of each paragraph, content understanding was accounted for in form of prompts during the think-aloud sessions and a 3-week delayed posttest. In total, over 8 hours of video data were collected, transcribed, and treated with the metaphor identification procedure MIPVU. Qualitative inspections of charged moments in discourse pinpoint metaphor as an important tool for compressing abstract entities or processes into meaningful, dense bundles of information. Participants also created their own analogies and expanded on found metaphoric expressions in textbooks when attempting to make sense of abstract phenomena in science. Further, this study confirms that the lack of English proficiency or schematic knowledge can result in non-understanding, misunderstanding, or partial understanding of metaphoric expressions which has implications for the EMI context.
摘要本研究探讨了隐喻在英语教学中对教科书概念的中介作用,以及促进内容理解的作用。特别令人感兴趣的是,语篇的语言是如何影响和可能阻碍隐喻理解的。根据社会文化理论和认知语言学中的理论见解,人们认为语言被视为具体的和语境的,语言化的思想(语言化)有助于理解。三对英语水平不同的日本学生被邀请参加基于在线小组的大声思考协议,他们在协议中阅读和讨论从两本英语社会和两本自然科学教科书中选取的段落。在了解了参与者关于每一段主要主题的一般知识后,在大声思考和3周延迟后测期间,以提示的形式解释内容理解。总共收集、转录了超过8小时的视频数据,并使用隐喻识别程序MIPVU进行处理。对语篇中带电矩的定性检查将隐喻定位为将抽象实体或过程压缩成有意义、密集的信息束的重要工具。参与者在试图理解科学中的抽象现象时,还创建了自己的类比,并扩展了教科书中发现的隐喻表达。此外,本研究证实,缺乏英语能力或图式知识会导致对隐喻表达的不理解、误解或部分理解,这对EMI上下文有影响。

ABSTRACT We carried out a systematic review of psycholinguistic, empirical, quantitative studies on verbal irony use and individual differences (i.e. psychological, not demographic, traits that significantly differentiate individuals). Out of 5,967 publications screened, 29, comprising 35 studies in total, were included. Following a qualitative content analysis, six thematic clusters were identified, representing areas of research in individual differences in irony use: (a) psychological well-being, (b) personality traits, (c) humor-related traits, (d) cultural factors, (e) social skills, and (f) cognitive factors. The results of the studies in each cluster are summarized and conclusions for further research are presented. In particular, the systematic review suggests that irony and sarcasm should be clearly delineated as separate, yet related phenomena due to differing patterns of correlations with specific individual differences. Additionally, significant methodological heterogeneity between the studies suggests the need for greater standardization of irony use measures.

ABSTRACT This study examined the performances of three groups of participants in interpreting metaphors in three different conditions: congruent gesture-prime conditions, opposite gesture-prime conditions, and no-prime conditions. In congruent gesture-prime conditions, each metaphor was preceded by the congruent gestural representation of metaphor schema. In opposite gesture-prime conditions, each metaphor was preceded by the opposite gestural representation of metaphor schema. The results showed that participants of congruent gesture-prime conditions had the best performance in interpreting metaphors, while participants of opposite gesture-prime conditions had the worst performance. It is suggested that metaphor schema is an important part of metaphorical meaning of a metaphor. Therefore, when this part of meaning is activated by a gestural prime, metaphor comprehension is facilitated. Furthermore, when a schema is used to metaphorically describe a concept or an event, that schema and the neural network that represents it become one part of a larger interconnected neural network that represents the meaning of the metaphor. It could mean that the activation of one part of it could facilitate the activation of the whole of the network. Finally, it is emphasized that a gesture that depicts the schema of a metaphor is in fact the embodied realization of that metaphor.
摘要本研究考察了三组被试在三种不同条件下的隐喻解释表现:一致的手势启动条件、相反的手势启动条件和无启动条件。在相同的手势启动条件下,每个隐喻之前都有相同的隐喻图式手势表征。在相反的手势启动条件下,每个隐喻之前都有相反的隐喻图式的手势表征。结果表明,手势启动条件一致的被试在隐喻解释上表现最好,而手势启动条件相反的被试在隐喻解释上表现最差。认为隐喻图式是隐喻意义的重要组成部分。因此,当这部分意义被手势启动时,隐喻的理解就容易了。此外,当一个图式被用来隐喻性地描述一个概念或一个事件时,这个图式和代表它的神经网络就成为一个更大的相互连接的神经网络的一部分,这个神经网络代表了隐喻的意义。这可能意味着它的一部分的激活可以促进整个网络的激活。最后,强调了描绘隐喻图式的手势实际上是该隐喻的具体化实现。

Metaphorical Humor in Satirical News Shows: A Content Analysis. 讽刺新闻节目中的隐喻幽默:内容分析。

Satirical news is often characterized as a hybrid genre that consists of three important communicative functions: it is (1) humoristic, (2) informative, and (3) evaluative. The Humoristic Metaphors in Satirical News (HMSN) typology demonstrates that metaphors can be utilized by satirists to express this hybridity by consisting of a combination of one or more of satire's core communicative functions. Nevertheless, the underlying principles through which metaphors are capable of humorously explaining and/or criticizing current affairs are less clear. To broaden our understanding of how metaphorical humor is used in satirical news to fulfill these functions, we integrate the HMSN typology with the General Theory of Verbal Humor (GTVH). The GTVH assumes that all verbal humor must draw from six interdependent Knowledge Resources (KRs). Through a content analysis of metaphorical humor used across various American satirical news shows, we investigated how these KRs are used to fulfill satire's core communicative functions across the various metaphorical sub-types of the HSMN typology. We found that: (1) some KRs can help fulfill the communicative function(s) of metaphorical jokes, while (2) some KRs constrain the options available for the expression of certain communicative function(s) or other KRs.

讽刺新闻通常被认为是一种混合类型,它具有三种重要的交际功能:(1)幽默,(2)信息,(3)评价。讽刺新闻(HMSN)类型学中的幽默隐喻表明,讽刺作家可以利用隐喻将讽刺的一种或多种核心交际功能组合在一起来表达这种杂糅性。然而,隐喻能够幽默地解释和/或批评时事的基本原理却不太清楚。为了扩大我们对隐喻幽默如何在讽刺新闻中发挥这些功能的理解,我们将HMSN类型学与言语幽默一般理论(GTVH)结合起来。GTVH假设所有言语幽默必须从六个相互依存的知识资源(KRs)中汲取。通过对美国各种讽刺新闻节目中使用的隐喻性幽默的内容分析,我们研究了这些隐喻性幽默是如何在HSMN类型的不同隐喻子类型中实现讽刺的核心交际功能的。研究发现:(1)一些隐喻语可以帮助实现隐喻笑话的交际功能,而(2)一些隐喻语限制了某些交际功能或其他隐喻语的表达选择。

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic has had a great impact on the life of every inhabitant of the planet. During 2020 and 2021 a significant amount of work on how the pandemic is being conceptualized and communicated has been done. Most work has focused on the role of metaphor in the construal of specific cognitive frames. In this paper, we turn to a similar but different conceptualization mechanism, i.e. simile. Drawing from recent socio-cognitive and discursive empirical approaches to similes, this paper focuses on “target is like source” constructions in English and Spanish containing (corona)virus either as target or source of the simile. The analysis is based on 200 examples found in the digital media during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020. First, the constructions, conceptualizations and mappings are analyzed. Second, the relevant discourse features (genre type, relation to subjectivity, text location and structuring properties) are described. Finally, the cross-linguistic English-Spanish analysis shows that, despite the many coincidences in both datasets, there are different tendencies as for the use of culture-specific mappings and the genres where the similes occur in. The study aims at testing to what extent the general features characterizing similes also hold in the case of (corona)virus, both as source and as target. The corpus analysis contributes, in addition, to the emerging line of research on the use of figuration in the communication of the pandemic, as well as to the study of the discursive dimensions of similes in real settings.
摘要新冠肺炎大流行对地球上每一位居民的生活都产生了巨大影响。在2020年和2021年期间,已经就如何概念化和传播这一流行病做了大量工作。大多数工作都集中在隐喻在特定认知框架的解释中的作用上。在本文中,我们转向一种相似但不同的概念化机制,即明喻。本文借鉴了最近对明喻的社会认知和话语经验方法,重点研究了英语和西班牙语中包含(冠状病毒)病毒作为明喻目标或来源的“目标像源”结构。该分析基于2020年第一波疫情期间在数字媒体中发现的200个例子。首先,分析了结构、概念和映射。其次,描述了相关的话语特征(体裁类型、与主体的关系、文本位置和结构特征)。最后,跨语言的英语-西班牙语分析表明,尽管这两个数据集存在许多巧合,但在使用特定文化的映射和明喻出现的类型方面存在不同的趋势。该研究旨在测试在(冠状病毒)病例中,明喻的一般特征在多大程度上也适用,无论是作为来源还是作为目标。此外,语料库分析有助于新出现的关于在疫情传播中使用比喻的研究,以及对真实环境中明喻的话语维度的研究。

The study aims at testing to what extent the general features characterizing similes also hold in the case of (corona)virus, both as source and as target. The corpus analysis contributes, in addition, to the emerging line of research on the use of figuration in the communication of the pandemic, as well as to the study of the discursive dimensions of similes in real settings.","PeriodicalId":46492,"journal":{"name":"Metaphor and Symbol","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44674099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This paper examines the forms and functions of religious Internet memes that relate to Covid-19, with a view to identifying the conceptual metaphors that underlie the creation of the memes. The data, which consist of thirty religious Internet memes shared in the Nigerian WhatsApp space, are analyzed qualitatively using the categorization of religious Internet memes, and the concept of multimodal metaphors. The memes contain (non-)linguistic metaphors such as the picture of Biblical Noah’s ark and expressions such as Noah’s family was on lockdown, which reveal underlying conceptual metaphors such as LOCKDOWN IS A GODLY INSTRUCTION and COVID-19 IS A WAR. The memes are used to allay the fears of people in the face of the disease, and encourage adherence to lockdown orders, amongst others. The study concludes that the forms and functions of these religious memes assist in revealing the multimodal conceptual metaphors underlying the memes.
摘要本文研究了与新冠肺炎相关的宗教网络模因的形式和功能,以期确定模因产生的概念隐喻。这些数据由尼日利亚WhatsApp空间中共享的30个宗教互联网模因组成,使用宗教互联网模因为的分类和多模态隐喻的概念进行了定性分析。模因包含(非)语言隐喻,如圣经中诺亚方舟的图片,以及诺亚的家人被封锁等表达方式,揭示了潜在的概念隐喻,如封锁是一个目标指令和新冠肺炎是一场战争。这些表情包被用来减轻人们面对疾病的恐惧,并鼓励人们遵守封锁令等。研究表明,这些宗教模因的形式和功能有助于揭示模因背后的多模态概念隐喻。

ABSTRACT Would metaphors used in the context of psychotherapy by people who experience various forms of anxiety disorders differ from those used by people who experience stress? We investigated this question with the help of the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM), a theory of meaning-making developed within the synthetic new discipline of cognitive semiotics. The analysis of a sample of ten transcripts of psychotherapy sessions concerning the topic of anxiety, and a comparable sample concerning stress, showed a significantly stronger proportion of conventionalized metaphors in the stress sample, and a marginally significant difference in the number of innovative metaphors in the anxiety sample. These results suggest that lived experience of an anxiety disorder or another form of maladaptive anxiety affects metaphorical meaning-making, and manifests itself in spontaneous metaphor use. Furthermore, as a result of the conceptual and the empirical investigations of the topic, we propose novel theoretical and operational definitions of the notion of metaphoricity.
经历各种形式焦虑症的人在心理治疗中使用的隐喻与经历压力的人使用的隐喻有什么不同吗?我们在动机与沉淀模型(MSM)的帮助下研究了这个问题,MSM是在认知符号学的综合新学科中发展起来的一种意义制造理论。分析了关于焦虑主题的十份心理治疗会议记录样本和关于压力的类似样本,发现压力样本中常规隐喻的比例明显更大,而焦虑样本中创新隐喻的数量略有显著差异。这些结果表明,焦虑障碍或其他形式的适应不良焦虑的生活经历影响隐喻意义的形成,并表现为自发隐喻的使用。此外,作为对该主题的概念和实证调查的结果,我们提出了隐喻概念的新的理论和操作定义。
