Real Forests in Our Minds Metaphors and Prototypes in Discourse

There are contradictory ideas concerning the function of metaphors in discourse. Cognitive linguists claim that metaphors are constitutive of reasoning, e.g. Lakoff (1986; 1987). In contrast, anthropologists claim that metaphors are not especially prominent in everyday discourse, e.g. Quinn (1991). This article is an attempt to reconcile the conflicting positions. Instead of the contemporary st...

Pennsylvania:! 'fossil forests' in growth position (T° assemblages): origin, taphonomic bias and palaeoecological insights

Fossil forests, buried in growth position in a geological instant (T° assemblages) are far more abundant in Pennsylvanian successions than in any other part of the geological record. In this review paper, we evaluate the fundamental controls on the origin of these phenomena, investigate the taphonomic biases that influence their composition, and summarize their palaeoecological significance. Fo...
