METAPHORS WE LIVE BY BY GEORGE LAKOFF

6/12/2023

 











Conceptual metaphors shape not just our communication, but also shape the way we
think and act. Other cognitive scientists, for example Gilles Fauconnier, study
subjects similar to conceptual metaphor under the labels " analogy", "
conceptual blending" and " ideasthesia".Ĭonceptual metaphors are seen in
language in our everyday lives. Gibbs, Jr., has investigated conceptual metaphor
and embodiment through a number of psychological experiments. Some researchers,
such as Gerard Steen, have worked to develop empirical investigative tools for
metaphor research, including the metaphor identification procedure, or MIP.

Since then, the field of metaphor studies within the larger discipline of
cognitive linguistics has increasingly developed, with several annual academic
conferences, scholarly societies, and research labs contributing to the subject
area. The book suggests metaphor is a tool that enables people to use what they
know about their direct physical and social experiences to understand more
abstract things like work, time, mental activity and feelings.Ĭonceptual
metaphor, and a detailed examination of the underlying processes, was first
extensively explored in this book.

Metaphors We Live By is a book by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson published in
1980.

SPEEDBOAT BY RENATA ADLER

6/12/2023

 














After four days, I brought the folder back. I signed for a file, took the folder
to my desk, and then took it home. Over the years, it has made the clerk ill.
Reporters are always taking his files away, forgetting to sign for them, keeping
them, losing them, throwing them away. “The clerk of the morgue of this paper is
an irascible man. I could have plucked any paragraph from this book and it would
have tasted as sweet, but it was delicious to type up these passages. Here are
two gems: little windows, little story starts. To my ear, Adler’s prose is no
less perfect than Joan Didion’s. And the accumulation of these bits make up an
incredibly compelling voice. They read like postage-stamp-sized essays.
Speedboat is knit from fragments, snapshots.

I stole a copy from a rental apartment in Venice last month, trading one of the
books I brought from home (which I have tried, unsuccessfully, several times to
read) I stole it feeling justified, not short-changing Italy on English books.

NOT IN THE SCRIPT BY AMY FINNEGAN

6/11/2023

 











How can she fall in love and be happy when Lucas never got the chance to do
those very same things? With her brother’s dying words as guidance, Oakley knows
she must learn to listen and trust again. As she lets him in, she is surprised
by how much she cares for him, and that’s when things get complicated. But then
a surfer named Carson comes into her life, and Oakley is blindsided. As Oakley
reads one each day, she realizes how much he loved her, and each letter
challenges her to be better and to continue to enjoy her life. Once they’re
settled, Mom hands her a notebook full of letters addressed to her—from Lucas.
In California, Oakley discovers a sort of safety and freedom in Aunt Jo’s beach
house. When Mom suggests they spend a few months in California with Aunt Jo,
Oakley isn’t sure a change of scenery will alter anything, but she’s willing to
give it a try. Between her parents’ arguing and the battle she’s fighting with
depression, she feels nothing inside but a hollow emptiness. When Oakley Nelson
loses her older brother, Lucas, to cancer, she thinks she’ll never recover.

A 2015 Whitney Award Nominee! A powerful story of loss, second chances, and
first love, reminiscent of Sarah Dessen and John Green.
