  • Metaphor and embodied cognition

    Open AccessRaymond W Gibbs Jr, Jr Raymond W Gibbs et al.ARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2010Citada por: 1

    The present paper briefly describes recent advances in cognitive science on the embodied nature of human cognition with the aim to better situating contemporary work on embodied metaphor in language and thought. We do this by talking about key experimental findings in five areas main areas of research in cognitive science: perception, concepts, mental imagery, memory, and language processing (Gibbs 2006a) We also describe some psycholinguistic st…

  • The dynamic complexities of metaphor interpretation

    Open AccessRaymond W Gibbs, Raymond W Gibbs JrARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2010Referencias: 15

    Metaphor interpretation takes cognitive effort and produces some complex set of cognitive effects. Although most metaphor scholars assume that there are definitive ways for studying metaphor effort and effects, there are various methodological problems associated with specifying metaphorical meanings and the ways that people generally come to understand these meanings. My claim is that both metaphoric meaning and metaphor interpretation is fundam…

  • Cognitive linguistics and metaphor research

    Open AccessRaymond W Gibbs, Raymond W Gibbs Jr et al.ARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2006Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    An important reason for the tremendous interest in metaphor over the past 20 years stems from cognitive linguistic research. Cognitive linguists embrace the idea that metaphor is not merely a part of language, but reflects a fundamental part of the way people think, reason, and imagine. A large number of empirical studies in cognitive linguistics have, in different ways, supported this claim. My aim in this paper is to describe the empirical foun…

  • Mental Imagery in Interpreting Poetic Metaphor

    Raymond W Gibbs, Raymond W Gibbs Jr et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol1999

    We report the findings from three studies examining the role of mental imagery in interpreting poetic metaphor, specifically image metaphors that express mappings of concrete perceptual images from source domains to dissimilar target domains. The first study showed that ordinary readers interpret image metaphors by mapping concrete mental images across domains, but not by mapping more general knowledge across domains. The second and third studies…

  • Analogy and Irony

    Herbert L Colston, Raymond W Gibbs et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbol1998

    A recent theoretical note published in Metaphor and Symbolic Activity (Whaley & Holloway, 1996) argued for a distinction between analogies used for persuasion, or rebuttal analogies, and standard forms of analogy such as explanatory or expressive ones (Gentner, 1982, 1983). Whaley and Holloway proposed that two characteristics distinguish rebuttal analogies--argument and social attack. In this article, we take up these claims concerning rebuttal …

  • Proverbs and the Metaphorical Mind

    Raymond W Gibbs, Raymond W Gibbs Jr et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbolic Activity1996

    A major difficulty in studying figurative thought and language from an interdisciplinary perspective is that scholars can misunderstand the goals, methods, and terminology of researchers in academic fields different from their own. Our understanding of how people think, speak, and understand figuratively has indeed greatly benefited from interdisciplinary investigations published in Metaphor and Symbolic Activity. However, unfortunate misundersta…

  • How Context Makes Metaphor Comprehension Seem 'Special'

    Raymond W Gibbs, Raymond W Gibbs Jr et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbolic Activity1989

    Psycholinguistic research has shown that, with appropriate context, people take no longer to understand metaphors than to understand semantically comparable literal language. This finding is often taken to suggest that identical mental processes drive the comprehension of both literal and metaphorical utterances. We suggest that this claim does not necessarily follow from the experimental results. Various masking processes could foster the "incor…

  • Beyond the Lexicon

    Richard J Gerrig, Raymond W Gibbs et al.ARTICLEMetaphor and Symbolic Activity1988

    We describe a number of communicative goals that lead speakers to produce creative utterances. We argue that speakers produce utterances that incorporate, for example, metaphors, lexical innovations, or indirectness, because they wish to express their intended meanings as accurately as their language allows. Speakers, we suggest, also create new meanings because of the social demands on them. Finally, we discuss the consequences of creativity for…
