3 The Concept of Metaphor The traditional Concept of Metaphor Narrow sense Broad sense 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

4 The Concept of Metaphor Narrow sense: particular trope among other (i.e metonimi, synecdoche, hyperbole, etc) Broad sense: all figures of speech 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

5 Definitional Criteria of Metaphor Transfer (Replacement Substitution, Translation) Metaphor in broad sense Similarity (Likeness, Comparison, Analogy) Metaphor in the narrow sense 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

6 Definitional Criteria of Metaphor Transfer (Replacement Substitution, Translation) Metaphor in broad sense Metaphora transfer carrying from one place to another Tenor-vehicle Metaphoric triangle Expression, proper sense, tenor (E, E1, E2) 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

7 Theories of Metaphor Substitution Comparison Interaction (Black 1962, dalam Noth 1995) Paradigmatic point of view Syntagamtic 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

8 Dualistic Double reference of metaphor, literal expression is not completely deleted but instead remains as a semantic background for the figurative meaning and creaters a semantic conflict with it. 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

9 Dualistic Comparison theory 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

10 Semantic to Syntax and Pragmatic Conventionaly Codified Unique poetic iconicity 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

11 monistic Process of complete deletion of the literal sense in favor of the figurative one (c.f. feature deletion in semantic componential analysis) (Noth, 1995:129) 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

15 Peirce Metaphor Linguistic metaphors are not directly metaphor because they initianlly signify their literal meaning symbolically (i.e. as arbitrary sigs) In second semantic relation, the metaphor functions ironically in representing the similarity of two objects or situations. Indirect icon not shown describe 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

16 Peirce s theory Metaphors exhibited a sort of the third level of iconicity The First, signs which represent their objects by means of similarity is occupied by pictures (images) The Second, diagram, a structural similarity between the relations of their elements and those of their objects The Third, metaphors are defined as signs which represent the representativ character pf a representamen by representing a parallelism in somethin else (p. 133) 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

17 Peirce-Icon Anything whatever [ ] is an icon of anything, in so far as it is like that thing and used as a sign of it 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

24 linguistics Cognitive..how the mind probably produces abstract concepts. (p. 164) Producing knowledge 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

25 Metaphor =primary referent, second referent ground (culture-based characteristic) 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

26 {[A1=B1]=[A2=B2]} Professor [A1=B1] Snake [A2=B2] to think certain referent in terms of others Similarities among mong dissimilar thins, interconnecting them within mind-space. P /03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

27 Conceptual Metaphor George Lakoff and Mark Jonson (1980:3) Metaphors We Live By Literal metaphor Concrete metaphorical reasoning Abstract concept (Conceptual Metaphor) Formula (target domain, source domain) Conceptual metaphor structures the actions (argument is war) 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

28 Conceptual metaphorizing to image schemats Sensory experience of locations, movements, shapes, etc. Inferent, deduction Schema = maps Image schema theory= source domain is not arbitrary but derived from experience of events=the result of an experiential induction Image schema is not replica =mental icon of an experience Schema can be associative, fictitious, or narrative Image schema =picturable mental icons of experiences and iconic of any sensory modality 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

31 Cultural Models Cultural groupthink is built on conceptual metaphors A system of abstract thinking hold together the entire network of associated meaning in the culture (h. 171) Higher order metaphorizing A great domains are associated with many kinds of source domain (orientational, ontological, structural) Cultural or cognitive models 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

32 Cultural model of ideas The constant juxtaposition of such conceptual metaphors in common discourse produce, cumulatively, ac cultural model of ideas that has a specific Gestalt structure 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

33 Metonymy and irony A part or a domain to present the whole domain (metonymic concept-formation) Synecdoche Concetpual metonym Irony = highliting srategy base don the use of words to convey a menaing contrary to their literal sense Statements to criticise 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

34 Metaphor and grammar Grammar category and concept-formation processes (since, from..etc) See p /03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI

35 Signs referential domains for humans to reflect upon, utilize, and store as knowledge Metaphor the form of thought humans use to inter connect such domains into increasingly layered order of meaning Human thinking the fluid application of existing metaphorical concepts to new situations 02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI
