Grand theories of meaning have been proposed, criticized, and in some cases rejected. The development over the last few decades of modern cognitive science presents us with another angle of approach to this difficult problem. In this dissertation I review two related cognitive science theories, Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Conceptual Integration

  • THE SNOW QUEEN a Fairytale in Seven Stories
    THE SNOW QUEEN A fairytale in seven stories First story, which deals with the mirror and the shards of glass. Right then! Time to start. When we’re at the end of the story we’ll know more than we do now, for it has to do with an evil ogre! one of the very worst – it was ‘the devil’! One day he was in a really good mood, for he had made a mirror that had the property of reducing everything good and beautiful that was reflected in it into practically nothing, but whatever was fit for nothing and looked bad grew more pronounced and became even worse. The loveliest landscapes looked like boiled spinach in it, and the best of people turned ugly or stood on their heads with no stomach, their faces became so distorted that they were unrecognisable, and if someone had a freckle, you could be sure that it spread out over both nose and mouth. It was most amusing, ‘the devil’ said. If a good pious thought went through the mind of a person, a grin appeared in the mirror, so that the ogre devil had to laugh at his ingenious invention. Everyone who went to an ogre school – for he ran such a place – said far and wide that a miracle had taken place; now for the first time one could really see, they felt, what the world and people really looked like. They ran around with the mirror, and finally there wasn’t a country or a single person that had not been distorted in it.

  • Back Yard, February 15, 1999, Vol. IV, No. 61
    Volume IV, Issue #61 February 15,1999 Ruth & Matt Launch SCHELL BROS CIRCUS, 1929 1930 •By CarCM. T)eVere, Sr. (From "For Our Eyes Only"*Published by Bud) I spent a lot of time on the road with my parents when they were agents. Dad hitched the trailer to our sedan at 9 or 10 o'clock each morning. The jumps from one town to another were normally less than a 100 miles. We usually arrived at the next town before noon. Dad found the circus lot, unhitched the trailer, & he and Mom went to work. Sometimes I remained in the trailer. Other times, I rode to town with them. Many times I played in the back set of the car while Mom spoke to a prospective customer in the front seat. She gave a pitch in her front seat office while I listened. I heard her repeat the talk so many times, I entertained my folks during a jump by giving her entire presentation. I played the part of my mother & that of the buyer. So my parents declared me a full-fledged banner salesman at age six. I felt big! We loved to sing in the car. I thought it sounded beautiful. My parents harmonized, & they tried to teach me. However, I was better in the lead. The only song I understood for harmony was "You Are My Sunshine." We sang it several times each day to give me a chance to shine. We played many road games. One was "Auto License Plate Alphabet." My favorite was a game Dad made up, called "Popular Cars." Each of us selected a brand of car to look for on the highway.

No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal --the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys. This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. This wall had gates of iron.

  • The Ice Queen
    The Ice Queen By Ernest Ingersoll THE ICE QUEEN. Chapter I. THROWN UPON THEIR OWN RESOURCES. The early dusk of a December day was fast changing into darkness as three of the young people with whose adventures this story is concerned trudged briskly homeward. The day was a bright one, and Aleck, the oldest, who was a skilled workman in the brass foundry, although scarcely eighteen years of age, had given himself a half-holiday in order to take Kate and The Youngster on a long skating expedition down to the lighthouse. Kate was his sister, two years younger than he, and The Youngster was a brother whose twelfth birthday this was. The little fellow never had had so much fun in one afternoon, he thought, and maintained stoutly that he scarcely felt tired at all. The ice had been in splendid condition, the day calm, but cloudy, so that their eyes had not ached, and they had been able to go far out upon the solidly frozen surface of the lake. "How far do you think we have skated to-day, Aleck?" asked The Youngster. "It's four miles from the lower bridge to the lighthouse," spoke up Kate, before Aleck could reply, "and four back. That makes eight miles, to begin with." "Yes," said Aleck, "and on top of that you must put—let me see—I should think, counting all our twists and turns, fully ten miles more. We were almost abreast of Stony Point when we were farthest out, and they say that's five miles long." "Altogether, then, we skated about eighteen miles." "Right, my boy; your arithmetic is your strong point." "Well, I should say his feet were his strong point to-day," Kate exclaimed, in admiration of her brother's hardihood.
