  • Dimensions of Metaphor Meaning

    Open AccessJosie Helen Siman, Thiago Oliveira Da Motta SampaioARTICLERevista de Estudos da Linguagem2024

    For many years, scholars have been proposing generic or universal theories of metaphor, but metaphors turn out to be more complex than that. In this paper, we discuss cases that show that metaphor meanings and mappings are contextual. By contextual, we mean the interactions between multiple factors in different timescales. The cases we analyze to make our point come from our study of resistance to metaphors. When people resist metaphors, they ten…

  • How We Resist Metaphors

    Open AccessRaymond W Gibbs, Josie Helen Siman et al.ARTICLELanguage and Cognition2021

    Most people love metaphor, but we still sometimes find ourselves resisting their presence or meanings for various reasons. We resist metaphors both as a general strategy (e.g., “Metaphors are meaningless” or “Mixed metaphor are incoherent”), and as a response to some metaphors in very specific situational and discourse contexts (e.g., “I do not like the idea that my cancer treatment is seen as a war against my body”). People resist metaphors they…

  • Multiple representational and dynamic conceptual analysis in the wild

    Open AccessJosie Helen Siman, Nara Miranda De FigueiredoARTICLEFórum Linguístico2021

    Cognitive semantics has different research methods, such as introspection, corpora analysis, interaction analysis, and experiments. The analysis of “data in the wild” (corpora and interaction) is generally informed by theories, but rarely by the current landscape of experiments’ findings on language and cognition. The goal of this paper is twofold: first, we want to highlight the possibility and importance of shortening the gap between theory, em…
