First and foremost, I’m deeply indebted to the faculty, staff and students in the Department for English and the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture at Justus Liebig University Giessen. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my advisors Joybrato Mukherjee and Helmuth Feilke for their valuable feedback, encouragment and continuous support. Rosemary Bock, Christiane Brand, Thorsten Brato, Sandra Götz, Christopher Koch, Svetla Rogatcheva and Marco Schilk not only provided their linguistic expertise – thank you for giving me such a warm welcome to the team and helping me to navigate my way through the department! At the GCSC, I would like to express my most profound gratitude to Ansgar Nünning for getting me to Giessen in the first place. Doris Bachmann-Medick, Julia Faisst, Alexander Friedrich, Gero Guttzeit, Beatrice Michaelis, Martin Zierold, and Ann Van de Veire, to name but a few, provided the most stimulating of environments one could hope for. At Innsbruck and Sheffield, I’d like to thank Manfred Markus for inviting me to the linguistic train way back when, and Alexander Onysko, Martin Peart, Christian Quendler and Peter Thompson for their valuable comments, friendship and inspiration throughout the years. Grant Price was an expert proofreader. For the opportunity to carry out several research stays and engage in spirited discussions, I’d like to thank the faculty and staff at Syddansk Universitet Odense and the 2009 Linguistic Institute at UC Berkeley.

  • A Roadmap for Visual Conceptual Blending
    Let’s Figure This Out: A Roadmap for Visual Conceptual Blending Joao˜ M. Cunha, Pedro Martins and Penousal Machado CISUC, Department of Informatics Engineering University of Coimbra jmacunha,pjmm,machado @dei.uc.pt { } Abstract The computational generation of visual representation of concepts is a topic that has deserved attention in Computational Creativity. One technique that is often used is visual blending – using two images to produce a third. However, visual blending on its own does not necessarily have a strong conceptual grounding. In this paper, we propose that visual conceptual blending be used for concept representation – a visual blend comple- mented by conceptual layer developed through elabora- tion. We outline a model for visual conceptual blending that can be instantiated in a computational system. Introduction It is often said that an image is worth more than a thousand words. Such is aligned with the views from Petridis and Chilton (2019) who state that visual advertisements – specif- Figure 1: Examples of visual blends produced by Vismantic ically when visual metaphors are used – are much more per- for bird/horse (top row) and Emojinating for freedom, car suasive than plain advertisements or text alone when con- factory and sun (bottom row). veying a message. Visual metaphors result from a process of visual blend- ing grounded on a conceptual level.

  • A Cognitive-Semantics Analysis of Political Cartoons <Stay out of My
    Linguistic Research 35(1), 117-143 DOI: 10.17250/khisli.35.1.201803.005 Multimodality and cognitive mechanisms: A cognitive-semantics analysis of political cartoons <stay out of my hair>* Iksoo Kwon**1․Jung Hwi Roh (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies) Kwon, Iksoo and Jung Hwi Roh. 2018. Multimodality and cognitive mechanism: A cognitive-semantics analysis of political cartoons <stay out of my hair>. Linguistic Research 35(1), 117-143. This paper aims to explore multimodality within a framework of cognitive semantics by conducting a case study of political cartoons <stay out of my hair> with special focus on the optimal manifestations of conceptual metaphors (Lakoff and Johnson 1999) and blends (Fauconnier 1997) in them. It looks into the cartoons which have been published from January to August in 2017 to illustrate escalating tensions over the issue of developing nuclear weapons in North Korea between North Korea and the United States after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. Total 26 relevant cartoons were collected from multiple public webpages, which use the original hairstyles of the political figures to satirize their political actions or to show conflicts and their unpleasant emotions. This study provides a qualitative analysis of five selected cartoons that represent the sub-types to clarify how hair constitutes the overall construal of the cartoon within a framework of cognitive semantics. It supports the claim that cognitive mechanisms such as conceptual metaphor and blending are not confined to verbal artefacts, but they are pervasive in multimodal manifestations since multimodal data as well as linguistic data are outcomes of human cognition (Dancygier and Vandelanotte 2017).

  • Conceptual Blending and Metaphor Theory 2.1
    CHAPTER TWO CONCEPTUAL BLENDING AND METAPHOR THEORY 2.1 Metaphor Metaphor has fascinated and bothered philosophers since the ancient Greeks. Aristotle was the rst to de ne metaphor, and three compo- nents of his explanation have in uenced metaphorical analysis up to the twenty- rst century: the argument that metaphor is located at the level of word, rather than larger linguistic unit; his understanding of metaphor as deviant, non-literal word usage; and his belief that meta- phor is motivated by pre-existing similarity.1 Medieval commentators were chary of metaphor, seeing it primar- ily as a stylistic device. Metaphor may have been necessary in sacred discourse, because speaking of divine truths directly was impossible. But metaphor outside of sacred texts was dangerous. Later empiricist and rationalist philosophies also believed metaphor to be deceptive; literal language was the only satisfactory way to assert truth claims or to speak accurately. For them, metaphor undermined correct reasoning and should be avoided. As John Locke said, . [I]f we would speak of things as they are, we must allow that . all the arti cial and gurative application of words eloquence hath invented, are for nothing else but to insinuate wrong ideas, move the passions, and thereby mislead the judgment; and so indeed are perfect cheats. and where truth and knowledge are concerned, cannot but be thought a great fault, either of the language or person that makes use of them.2 Early twentieth century philosophy distinguished between language’s “cognitive” and “emotive” purposes; scienti c knowledge could be stated literally, and its truth veri\ ed independently.
