Abstract:

The use of metaphors to explore the connection between theory and practice in organization and leadership studies has proven to be highly effective. This paper discusses the dead goat syndrome (DGS) as a benchmark in discussing the importance of metaphor in organization life and to identify the various leadership types that conform to the DGS metaphor. The dead goat syndrome emanates from a popular Ghanaian metaphor literary meaning a goat that is already dead does not fear to be thrust with a knife. Using this metaphor, we present a new lens for looking at leadership effectiveness and identif

Abstract:

The term ‘spiritual warfare’, referring to the Christian’s battle with evil spirits, was popularized by the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement and is the predominant language used in contemporary Christianity to describe encounters with evil spirits. This paper reviews the prevalence of military metaphors in popular and scholarly writings, and examines the problems associated with warfare language from linguistic, biblical, theological and psycho-social perspectives. I suggest that ‘spiritual warfare’ has become a dead metaphor: its metaphorical insights have been lost and other metaphors are ne

Abstract:

The issue of identifying metaphors is not clear-cut in most religious texts (Charteris-Black, 2005). For metaphors that are dealt with by religious texts such as human life as a journey or as a game, a prayer as a flowing river, the living martyrs (the living dead), a taste of death, the journey of the dead and “die, yet shall he live” are mostly spiritual matters for which academic appraisal is essential (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Gibbs, 2008). That is, the quality of the explanations that are presented by such metaphors need an intensive investigation, because these are the key function of

The aim of my paper is to explore phraseological meaning in discourse from the cognitive point of view. I argue against the dead-metaphor view which treats all phraseological units as clichés that have “lost their first bloom and their potency” and have been “established as the bad guy of the English language”, having suffered “a fall from freshness” (Kirkpatrick 1996). This is an old approach that phraseological units were once alive but now they are fossilised. Surprisingly, this attitude still persists in the face of advances in cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics (Lakoff and Johnso

Non-metaphors—responses that failed to meet the basic task requirements—consisted of “adjective slips” (describing the topic adjectivally instead of figuratively), “wayward attributes” (attributing the wrong property to the topic), and “off-topic idioms” (describ

Abstract The participles κεκοιµηµένοι, κοιµηθέντες and κοιµωµένοι, used by Paul in 1 Thess and 1 Cor as metaphors for dead persons, are often merely taken as a euphemism, simply chosen for stylistic reasons. From the perspective of critical cognitive linguistics you can come up with a more differentiated picture if you discern within these Pauline utterances between lexicalized and innovative metaphors. By using the metaphor “to sleep” for “being dead” in 1 Thess 4,14 Paul can express his emotional sensitivity towards the Thessalonians (1 Thess 4,13), in 1 Thess 4,14–15 he can allude to the Ch

Paul de Man’s interpretation of Proust’s metafigural argument is fundamentally correct.

Proust’s passage contains classical metaphors—not synecdoches that merely resemble metaphors. But de Man’s attempts to justify his interpretation are unpersuasive. Indeed, they are so unpersuasive that they become allegorical: though he claims that there is an undoing of metaphor by metonymy in Proust’s tex

Analyzing the rituals of death in Iran, it was revealed that Iranians rely on a set of basic concetual metaphors to conceptualize the taboo of death. Heavily motivated by religious instructions, the whole scenario of death is conceptualized in terms of human physical and psychological experiences. In addition to

Therefore the communicative value of such fixed expressions should not be underrated as these type of metaphor never fail to produce a desired effect on the reader/listener.

The distinction is made by drawing on a tristratal approach that is informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics and that considers nominalisation simultaneously from the perspectives of field, discourse semanti

Recent research, however, has questioned Meeks’s disparaging conclusions about the evidence for Pauline Christian burial practices. The following article contributes to this discussion by examining Paul’s references to special garments and the afterlife (1 Thess 5:8; 1 Cor 15:53–54; 2 Cor 5:1–4). Later

The main result of metaphorization is a metaphor. Metaphors can be studied from different angles. Metaphors can serve as a means of description and explanation in all areas. Wherever metaphor is used, it always enriches the understanding of human action, activity, knowledge, and language. The ubiquity of the metaphor is a key factor in confirming its relevance to various discourses. The conceptual approach to reality, its objects, and events have also given rise to the conceptual theory of metaphor.

В результате исследования были выделены три фрейма: «Механическое пианино», «Игра на музыкальных инструментах» и «Звучание музыки». При этом метафоры фрейма «Звучание музыки» проявили наибольшую частотность. Музыкальное искусство характеризуется преимущественно посредством антропоморфных метафор. Согласно полученным данным, метафоры со сферой-магнитом «Музыка» функционируют как стертые, так и как оригинальные. В отдельных случаях встречаются двухслойные и развернутые оригинальные

Abstract:

The article investigates modern secondary nominations, in particular metaphors as a wide range of linguistic and stylistic means that allow speakers to turn the designation of new realities and concepts of modern colorful life in Ukraine into certain vivid signs not only of individual objects, but sometimes of entire situations related to them.It is found that modern metaphors reflect the mood of society, convey the attitude of speakers to certain realities and phenomena of the present, and formalize their assessment. The attention is paid not only to the linguistic aspect of the lexicon funct

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn Christian tradition, accounts of religious language have commonly centered on analogical predication arising from a created world that reflects its Creator. Recent decades have witnessed a change: metaphor has gone into ascendance while analogy has suffered an eclipse. This essay critiques four trends in contemporary accounts of religious language: the ascription of universal range to metaphor; inadequate accounts of the nature of metaphor; insufficient attention given to the nature of literal speech; and the consequent deficient understandings of the relationship of metaphor and an

Abstract:

This article examines the metaphor of "eating dead brother's flesh" in Surah Al-Hujurat verse 12 using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to explore the deep meaning contained therein. This letter prohibits prejudice, and through powerful metaphors, depicts such actions as despicable and detrimental to social harmony. Using a semiotic approach, this article discusses the denotative and connotative meaning of the metaphor, as well as how the existing symbols reflect moral values in Islamic teachings. Furthermore, this article explores the relevance of this metaphor in the context of the social

Abstract:

The primary rhetorical device, metaphor, frequently alludes to figurative language in general. Therefore, linguists, critics, and writers have always given it considerable attention. It has historically been examined and approached in terms of its basic parts (i.e., image, object, sense, etc.) and types (such as cliché, dead, anthropomorphic, current, extended, compound, etc. metaphors), as it was initially a significant aesthetic and rhetorical figure. However, recently, metaphor has drawn even more attention from a completely different standpoint of ideologization and conceptualization, espe

Abstract:

J.G. Ballard’s short stories have repeatedly presented readers with the image of the dead astronaut. This article analyzes five stories published between 1962 and 1982—“The Cage of Sand,” “A Question of Re-Entry,” “The Dead Astronaut,” “Notes Towards a Mental Breakdown,” and “Memories of the Space Age” —in which dead spacemen have a pivotal role connected to a place that looms large in Ballard’s imagination: Cape Kennedy/Canaveral. The essay focuses on the recurring religious symbols and metaphors Ballard uses in the stories, examining their social, cultural, and political implications against

Abstract:

In this paper Rachel Fensham returns to the writings of Gaston Bachelard in order to examine the poetics of space from a non-European perspective. Spatial metaphors, such as the ‘dead heart’ that might evoke phenomenological and psychic dimensions of space in Australia, also register in historical and geographical imaginaries. However, postcolonial theories of space disturb visual metaphors and cartographic concepts in the mises en scène of theatrical performance. Here, Fensham analyzes two recent performances that radically reimagine the poetics of (Australian) space through the movement traj
