Constructing Meanings of Mathematical Registers Using Metaphorical Reasoning and Models
Current debates about successful mathematics pedagogy suggest that mathematical learning and problem solving can be enhanced by using metaphors as they provide students with a tool for thinking. But assisting pre-service teachers to understand the importance of careful and accurate explanations for mathematical concepts remains an issue. This paper investigates how a mathematics teacher made us...
متن کاملImplicit learning of mappings between forms and metaphorical meanings.
Previous research has shown that people can implicitly acquire mappings between word forms and literal meanings (Williams, 2004, 2005). We argue, from the metaphor-representation and embodiment perspectives, that people can unconsciously establish mappings between word forms and not only literal but also metaphorical meanings. Using Williams' (2005) paradigm, we found that transfer of form-mean...
متن کاملBi - dimensional semantic scales : the embodied maps of meanings *
r e s u M e n Osgood desarrolló el diferencial semántico para investigar los fenómenos desde la semántica y la percepción, y aplicamos su versión modificada para investigar temas actuales en ciencia cognitiva. Utilizamos dos dimensiones en lugar de un espacio unidimensional para posicionar palabras nominales y datos sujetos a escalamiento multidimensional (MDS). En el experimento 1 (papel y láp...
متن کاملEvolution of word meanings through metaphorical mapping: Systematicity over the past millennium.
One way that languages are able to communicate a potentially infinite set of ideas through a finite lexicon is by compressing emerging meanings into words, such that over time, individual words come to express multiple, related senses of meaning. We propose that overarching communicative and cognitive pressures have created systematic directionality in how new metaphorical senses have developed...
متن کاملMetaphorical Futures
This paper argues that temporal concepts that appear to involve a relation between an individual and a future event are not, as has often been claimed, directly structured in terms of locations in space and/or motion through space. Instead, the positioning of reified events in space is used to describe the degree of epistemic detachment holding between the individual and the event. This brings ...
