Their work follows in the footsteps of Max Black who, for his part, devised his theory from the work of Ivor Armstrong Richards. The ideas of Lakoff and Johnson are commonly alluded to in specialist literature on literary stud- ies, presumably because of the perspectives they offer in criticizing current ideologies. How- ever, Lakoff’s and Johnson’s notion of metaphor is not without problems when it comes to classical (rhetorical) metaphor. In order to show how conceptualism insufficiently deals with rhetorical metaphors, it is first necessary to have a clearer idea of classical metaphor itself. My theoretical sketch, there- fore, also includes a discursive criticism of the existing models of metaphor. By analysing the functioning of metaphor, we find evidence for metaphor as a pragmatic phenomenon of nat- ural languages. This evidence forms the beginning of my critique (chapters 3 and 4) and is followed by a critique of conceptualism itself (chapter 5). For further support I am obliged to range further afield (chapters 1 and 2) since metaphor affects our fundamental beliefs about human imagery and referentiality in language. I am extremely grateful to Angela Kessler who gave generously of her time to translate my initial manuscript into English. Her insights and suggestions saved me from copious blunders and inspired many improvements. For the second edition, I would like to thank all those who provided helpful corrections, especially Bettina Bergmann, Annica Tews, Elisabeth Schlier- icke, Headley Noel, Christopher Gray and Kay Nitsch. Tim Ochser was an incredible help with the final version — I would like to express my sincere gratitude for his input. Sadly, he is no longer around to appreciate the final result. Greifswald, Spring 2018 Stephan Kessler Chapter One The General Principles of Iconicity in Language Metaphor, Polysemy, Homonymy. Iconic and Symbolic Thought This book deals with a theoretical problem called imagery in literature. The problem is prob- ably as old as the hermeneutic preoccupation with texts, meaning it has existed since the ad- vent of theology and the earliest studies of literature. Admittedly, this is a rather vague ac- count of the history of scholarship on imagery, which encompasses the link between hermeneutics, language and art. The reader is therefore advised to read Gadamer’s more de- tailed history of hermeneutics (1990: 177–222; 2006: 172–214). Images in literature are gen- erally seen as a particular instance of language-based imagery. This is because they are recog- nised as part of a particular, aesthetically defined context (mostly within artistic texts, i.e. lit- erature). On the other hand, the more general phenomenon of imagery in language is char- acteristic of all texts since it forms an integral part of speech. Numerous authors (e.g. Hönigs- perger 1994) have attested to this fact. In this regard, everybody knows a posteriori about this topic. In the following passage: (1) In der Tat umschwirren Lobbyisten die Politiker wie die Motten das Licht. Die Strippenzieher aus Unter- nehmen, Verbänden, Gewerkschaften und PR-Agenturen haben die Bundeshauptstadt längst umzingelt. (Burmeister 2008) Transl.: Indeed lobbyists buzz around politicians like moths around the light. String-pullers from business, associations, unions and PR-agencies already have encircled the federal capital. The words in bold are not to be understood in their literal sense. They are, rather, an example of figurative language (a term which includes the metaphors we will be looking at). In such cases we often speak of a ‘picturesque’ style (Germ. bildlicher Wortgebrauch), which is a some- what misleading expression. This linguistic phenomenon does not create a real picture (Germ. bildlich) but is merely evocative of a picture (Germ. bildhaft). In other words, such language represents figures of thought (cf. Abrams 1999: 64–66). Although we are aware of the figurative meaning in example 1, it is commonly held that the literal, standard or original meaning of such statements is also pertinent: it has been ac- tivated, if only temporarily. Kurz (1988: 18) says, ‘When understanding a metaphor — while striving to grasp its meaning — we temporarily activate all the possible meanings and con- notations of all the participatory words, their various combinations and affective qualities.’1 Hülzer (1991: 50) argues in a similar vein. 1 Our translation; orig. in German: ‘Wir aktualisieren bei der Metapher – auf der Suche nach ihrem Sinn – wenigs- General Principles of Iconicity in Language Salim-Mohammad (2007: 42–43) aptly calls this ambiguity ‘polysemification’ (Germ. Po- lysemierung). Schumacher (1997: 23–24) has likewise compared polysemy with metaphors (i.e. imagery in language). However, what exactly is polysemy? Polysemy is often described as a gradual form of homonymy (and vice-versa). For instance, Lyons (1994: II, 550–569) argues that polysemy is needed to explain ‘the native speaker’s feeling’ of what is called ‘relatedness of meaning’ and ‘unrelatedness

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.

The passion and fervor of our supporters never ceases to amaze me, as our mission spans generations of time. This passion was evident at our rousing fall meeting in Portland, Maine. What a gathering it was! A group boated to an island near Portland for a lobster roast; we enjoyed spectacular keynote speakers and workshop leaders; and participated in a chestnut orchard tour on the final day of the meeting that highlighted a large surviving American chestnut. I loved seeing the rekindling of friendships, the exchange of ideas, and the young scholars competing for the best scientific posters. We are grateful for the stalwart Maine Chapter volunteers who were invaluable friends and tireless workers to ensure the meeting went smoothly.

  • Title Page Copyright Page Preface
    Title Page Copyright Page Preface Patterns, a Course in Communicative English, focuses on reading, writing and communicative aspects of English language to ensure holistic training. The aim of the series is to enhance the students’ language skills and enable them to use the language with ease and confidence both inside and outside the boundaries of the classroom. The teacher plays the most significant role in this process. Therefore the books contain exhaustive Teacher’s Notes providing certain guidelines and suggestions about the way the lessons can be approached and made interesting as well as beneficial to the students. The Teacher’s Handbooks (1-8) contain answers to the exercises which accompany the chapters. The primary purpose of these books is to diminish the workload of the teachers and facilitate the teaching and learning processes. Apart from definite answers, they also contain suggestions which the teachers may follow while teaching a chapter. Answers to some analytical questions are not given since it is in the best interest of the students to let them think and answer those questions based on their understanding of the topics. The exercises on Writing Skills and Enrichment activities can be conducted by the teacher following the guidelines given as part of the exercise. The teacher should encourage students to answer the open-ended questions depending on their reading of the chapter. We sincerely hope that the teachers find these books useful and the Handbooks contribute substantially to the process of learning. Contents Course book 1. The Story of the Socks 1 2. Sun 2 3.

    Studies in African Linguistics 85 Supplement 7, December 1977 IMPLICATIONS FOR UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR OF OBJECT-CREATING RULES IN LUYIA AND MASHI* Judith Olmsted Gary University of California at Los Angeles 1. Background and Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine on the basis of comparative data from several Bantu languages hypotheses made in prior papers by Gary [1975] and Gary and Keenan [1976, 1977] concerning the Relational Hierarchy (RH) in universal grammar: RH: Subject (Su) > Direct Object (DO) > Indirect Object (10) > Oblique Object (00) Gary and Keenan have outlined two contrasting views concerning the relation between the Relational Hierarchy and grammars of particular languages: the Comparative View proposed by Gary and Keenan, and the Generative View as attributed to Perlmutter and Postal [1974]. In the Generative View, the Relational Hierarchy categories refer to grammatical relations NPs bear to their verbs and are considered among the primitives of generative grammars. Su, DO, and 10 NPs are said to bear 'grammatical relations' to their verbs and are called terms. Relations such as Instrument and Locative which Oblique NPs bear to their verbs are not considered to be grammatical relations; these NPs are called nonterms. Transformations generating complex structures from simpler ones make specific reference to these relations; it is claimed that syntactic generalizations are more adequately captured by transformations specifically referring to these categories than by rules based on relations of dominance and linear order (see Chung [1976], Keenan [1976], Johnson [1974a,b]). Assumptions underlying the Generative View of the Relational Hierarchy which appear to distinguish it from the Comparative View of the *1 would like to thank Lee Trithart for reading this paper for me at the 8th Conference on African Linguistics at UCLA, April 1977, while I was in Egypt.

  • Embodied Futures
    Embodied Futures: Weaving Futures Thinking, Applied Theatre and Community Development in Creative and Participatory Embodied Practice Deanna Borland-Sentinella, BA (Hons) Creative Industries School of Creative Practice Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology 2020 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for IF49, Doctorate of Philosophy Keywords for cataloguing purposes: Applied Theatre, Causal Layered Analysis, Circle of Influence, Community Development, Forum Theatre, Futures Thinking, Futures Triangle, participatory, Process Drama, Timor-Leste. 1 Abstract When development agendas are dictated by a few, they often fail to address the interests of all members of a community. This research sought to find ways to assist communities to experience the value of thinking about the future and to develop confidence in creating and critiquing their own visions and roadmaps. The research drew on concepts from participatory Community Development (CD) and Futures Thinking (FT) to enhance Applied Theatre (AT) practice. The key theories framing the study are Inayatullah’s (2008) ‘six pillars’ of FT, which includes Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) as a technique, and Kelly and Westoby’s (2018) layered framework that progresses from implicate through micro, mezzo, and meta methodologies. The methodology of the study was practice-led, involving an evolving series of workshops in Australia and Timor- Leste, to reflect on these theories in practice using movement and drama techniques. The findings take the form of a new AT practice, named Embodied Futures. This exegesis outlines a framework for Embodied Futures, which sits alongside a guide detailing the practical activities to implement the framework in a range of contexts in the form of an Illustrated Exercises Book.
