Primary Metaphors Describe Standard Meanings of Topological Arrangements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary metaphors are basic mental representations that arise from repeatedly experiencing the co-occurrence of physical properties and abstract judgements. At the example of ethnographic studies several spatial/topological primary metaphors are reviewed and their usefulness for designing ubicomp systems is discussed along with some caveats that concern the application of these metaphors to predict human behaviour.

The criteria rely heavily on the images that compose...

Previous metaphor studies have paid much attention to nominal metaphors and predicative metaphors, but little attention has been given to adjective metaphors.
