Abstract:
This paper proposes an analysis of the relationship between tenor and vehicle in the simile that Achilles speaks to the weeping Patroklos at Iliad 16.5-11. Conceiving metaphor as based on resemblance (and, inevitably, difference) between tenor and vehicle and metonymy as based on attachment or connection between them, the simile is interpreted as a metaphor for the fused relationship between Achilles and Patroklos (the tenor) whose vehicle is the metonymic relationship between a mother fleeing both the catastrophic, violent consequences of war on women and at the same time her very own child w

Abstract:
This study aimed to identify various types of figurative language used in the video advertisements for two games, Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail. Following Harris's (2018) theory on rhetorical devices, particularly figurative language, the researchers analyzed the utterances in these videos. According to Harris (2018), there are 11 types of figurative language namely: simile, analogy, metaphor, catachresis, metonymy, synecdoche, personification, allusion, eponym, apostrophe, and transferred epithet. Using qualitative research methods, the researchers collected and analyzed the data. The

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the “when” meme, a popular internet meme, which prototypically juxtaposes a when clause with an ostensibly unrelated image. Despite the initial incongruity, I contend this image prompts selective mapping between verbal and visual elements to produce a multimodal simile. First, I attempt to define and more clearly distinguish simile from metaphor. Second, I show how this multimodal simile exhibits unique viewpoint mapping by prompting audiences to subsume viewpoints that are both unfamiliar and bizarre. Third, I connect the like construction in simile with the like reported

Abstract:
The present article is concerned with the analysis of so-called metaphoric resemblance operations. Our corpus of animal metaphors, as representative of resemblance metaphors, reveals that there are complex cognitive operations other than simple one-correspondence mappings that are necessary to understand the interpretation process of the selected expressions (which include metaphor and simile). We have identified a strong underlying situational component in many of the examples under scrutiny, which requires the metonymic expansion of the metaphoric source.

Turnus’ ballistic effort in the poem’s finale is answered by a contrapuntal simile describing Aeneas’ spear-throw as a salvo from a siege-engine: Turnus’ abortive feat, emulating an archaic epic gesture, now marks the anarcho-primitivist, while the ballista image—a conspicuous, forward-looking anachronism—pointedly plays off ‘modern’ technological rationality against a model of outdated heroics. As symbol and metonymy, this tension recapitulates aspects of the poem’s teleological design and, as such, discloses the mechanisms of the text’s own functioning: the simile of mechanized warfare echoe

This study examines the translation of an adventure travel guide from English to Swedish, focusing on the translation of conventional metaphors, original metaphors, metonymy and similes, with special attention to conceptual metaphors. The results show that most of the metaphors are reproduced in the target text, along with most of the metonymic segments and all similes. The findings suggest that the relatively high rate of metaphors and metonymy reproduced is due to a high degree of shared metaphorical concepts in source and target culture, whereas the decrease likely is due to an asymmetry in

There is no consensus regarding the interpretation of the "Spirit like a dove" comparison in Jesus' baptism (Mk 1:10). Although scholars have proposed at least fifty different interpretations of the dove comparison, no study appears to have considered Isaiah's three dove texts as the background for the Markan dove (cf. Is 38:14; 59:11; 60:8). This neglect is surprising considering the abundance of Isaianic allusions in Mark's Prologue (Mk 1:1-15), and the growing awareness that Isaiah is the hermeneutical key for both the Markan Prologue and Jesus' baptism within it.

Abstract:
Interpreting sacred notions of the Hebrew Bible in a non-literal sense was part of the hermeneutical manoeuvres of Early Christian writers. They proceeded by deliteralization and metaphorization, meta-linguistic speech acts by which a word usually understood in its literal sense receives a non-literal meaning. The author develops a two-phase model of Paul’s notion of the ‘circumcision of the heart.’ First the initial values (Jewishness and ritual circumcision) are projected upon a newly created target, inwardness. Then the original value is abolished. This process can be termed a value-shift,

Given that languages spoken in the same geographical area by people sharing similar social structure, occupations, and religious beliefs differ in the kinds of meaning expressed by the grammatical system, the answer to this question cannot invoke differences in geography, occupation, social and political structure, or religion.

Abstract The difficulties presented by figurative meaning in the Bible are extensive and pervasive.

But enfolding metaphor, simile, metonymy, and other figurative linguistic forms within the literal sense brought its own range of problems.

If we consider ‘cosmopolitanism’ to also comprise a certain ethical stance, then what distinguishes it from other ethea is that it transcends the very locatedness that the etymology of the words ‘ethos’ evokes. As such, it also denotes a form of community that is not defined in contradistinction to other communities, or as once simply “transcending” them, but as an attempt and a challenge to rethink our classical concepts of community. In order to do so, the essay argues, we will have to replace these classical concepts—which have always functioned along a ‘metaphoric’ logic—with that of a ‘me

The prop that is tangible to the actors on stage can be held as a figure in the minds of the playgoers.

Abstract The question of how to move forward in time was as much a part of John Foxe’s legacy as that of the proper identity of the Christian Church in history. As our text was a part of that latter discussion, so it would be in speculation with regard to the shape of the future. The question was not simply academic. It became caught up in issues of politics and governance. If God’s saints-by metonymy, our witnesses-had triumphed in the sixteenth century then the nature of their rule was now at issue. Drawn into debate over how the saints triumph in history were issues of religious legitimacy.
