Abstract:
The article highlights the problem of metaphorical thinking as a way of conceptualizing reality in Steven Hall’s fiction “The Raw Shark Texts”. The relevance of the study is due to the need to expand the analysis of the communicative features of the literary text with an iconic component. The main goal of the article is to analyze the features of the text polycoding as a form of artistic communication and to find out the role and functions of the metaphor as a means of conceptualizing reality in the polycodic text of the novel.

Abstract:
Conceptual metaphor theory proposes that metaphor is a mental function, rather than solely a literary device. As such, metaphors may be present in any by-product of human cognition, including pictorial art. Crawford and Juricevic previously proposed two heuristic frameworks for the identification and interpretation of metaphor in pictures, which have been shown to be capable of describing how pictorial metaphors are identified and interpreted in the comic book medium. The present study tested artists’ preference for combinations of contextual and structural pictorial information in comic book

Abstract:
This article attempts to show that metaphors can be used in different ways in literary texts. After a brief discussion on metaphor as a creative linguistic device (Ricoeur), I argue that the meaning and the function of a metaphor in a literary text depend, at least in part, on the intentions of the author. I refer to three different authors. For Proust, metaphor allows for a more accurate representation of reality because it remains close to physical sensations. For Colette, metaphors play a psychological role in that they allow the author to align reality according to a specific aesthetic. An

Abstract:
There has always been a widely held view among literary and linguistic circles that poetic language and naturally occurring language represent two quite different registers; hence, they can by no means be subjected to treatment through the same rout of analysis. Another problem is that poetic language is said to utilize some special figures as meaning construction devices that are called meaning devices, which are purely literary devices and have little value outside literature.

The linguostylistic and linguopoetic methods of analysis help to bring out metaphor as an important device for Byron. Through metaphors he portrays his heroes, their feelings and thoughts and makes the reader feel his powerful flight of imagination.

Abstract:
According to the conceptual metaphor theory, a metaphor is not just a rhetorical device but rather a fundamental conceptual framework operating at the level of thinking. When one describes a painting as “musically moving” or “melodious,” one transfers a conceptual framework of music from its typical domain into a new domain where neither musical movement nor melody takes place. In this light, the extensive use of musical metaphors based on qì-dynamics such as “rhythmic vitality” or “literary vitality” for art criticism in early China can be deemed as conceptual mappings between music and other

We suggest that the OECD selection of the toolbox as a metaphor is a way of inserting international economic imperatives into local government education policy, in ways that t

This article examines the use of travel metaphors in French periodical reviews of non-fiction travelogues at the turn of the eighteenth and the nineteenth century. The French periodical press took an increasing interest in travel literature in this period, forming an important instance of mediation between travel writers and the reading public. In travel-book reviews, journalists would frequently make use of a rhetoric aimed at presenting the periodical text as a double co-experience: an imaginary travel in the wake of the travel writer and a ‘travel’ through the journalist’s own reading exper

The discussion then extends into non-literary modes of translation where the translation specifications known as the Brief determine to a large extent the decisions taken by the translator.

The modern humanitarian discourse views the metaphor not only in its narrow sense (as a means of literary expressiveness) but also in the wide one – as a way of thinking and perception of the world around, which enables defining specific textual strategies aimed at interpreting complex, abstract, and principally incomprehensible concepts with the help of comprehensive, understandable, and mainly visual images. In P. Handke’s novel, the

This study examines the aesthetics of three Kasena traditional prayers performed in devotion to Kukula, a divinity revered by the Kasena of the Upper East Region of Ghana. These prayers are performed orally and have not received any literary study in Kasem; this study is therefore aimed at filling this gap by looking at the aesthetics in this prayers. Four different prayers were recorded and transcribed by the researcher; these prayers were collected from Kayᴐrᴐ, a village in the Kasena Nankana West District in the Upper East Region of Ghana.

In his early career, Kenneth Millar, better known as Ross Macdonald, emulated the style of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. By the 1960s he had established himself as a distinct voice in the hardboiled genre. In his Lew Archer series, he conveys the complexity of his characters and settings primarily by the use of metaphors. In his 1966 novel Black Money the device performs three functions. In the case of minor characters, the author uses metaphors to comment on Californian society. Concurrently, metaphors describing major characters allow him to develop their dramatic arcs, whereas the

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the style of Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”. A lot of work has been done on this poem in the domain of literary criticism but very little or almost no comprehensive research has been conducted yet, to find out the stylistic features. So, the present study focuses on the use of stylistic devices. Each level has been studied deeply and comprehensively, by looking at the choice of language at phonetic, phonological, graphitic, semantic and grammatical levels.

This paper employs a multimodal analytical approach in analyzing the theme of exodus in Bob Marley’s ‘Exodus’ album where attention is given to four main areas, namely, the album’s cover design, the employment of lexical items, the use of literary devices as well as aesthetics by which Marley conveys the theme of exodus throughout the album. Findings show that the album’s cover design is symbolically employed to project the theme of exodus. The choice of the gold color as the background as well as the inscription of ‘EXODUS’ in red in the heart of the golden background equivocally reveals Afri

This article investigates one of the most important and erotically explicit early modern Spanish texts: Fernando de Rojas’s La Celestina (1499/1507). Highlighting the dynamics of the three sex acts depicted in the plot, it argues that intercourse can be read as a negotiation of the text’s main values: (courtly) love, honour, and money. While scholars have elaborated on the metaphor of the wheel of fortune in La Celestina, this article suggests that the wheel was more than a trope for life’s vicissitudes; it operated as a structural tool in the text, a metaphor rendered material via Ramón Llull

Summary This re-reading of Zygmunt Krasiński’s lyrical verse rejects (at least to some extent) the generally held view of his poetry as some kind of literary fossils. To demonstrate its genuine complexity the author of this article focuses on Krasiński’s use of the oxymoron, an aspect of his poetic art that has been neglected by the critics. The oxymoron, which seems to be his favourite metaphoric device, is analysed here on the level of poetic ontology, poetic semantics, and metaphoric imagery. In each of those spheres oxymorons play a dominant role: Krasiński uses them to construct his poeti

Many of Murakami’s novels demonstrate his appropriation of the terminology, imagery and metaphor that are found in hardboiled detective fiction. The question of Haruki Murakami’s use of the tropes from hardboiled detective stories has been discussed by scholars such as Hantke (2007), Stretcher (2002) and Suter (2008), who argue that the writer uses these features as a way to organize his narratives and to pay homage to one of his literary heroes, Raymond Chandler. However, these arguments have not adequately addressed the fact that many of Murakami’s novels fit into the definition of the metap

This technology contradicts physiological, historical and sociocultural understandings of the pulse as central to human life. In this essay, we consider the ramifications of this contrast between the historical and cultural importance placed on the pulse (especially in relation to our sense of self) and living with a pulseless LVAD.
