it seems that a great number of abstract religious concepts in islamic texts are realized, both conceptually and linguistically, through cognitive strategies like metaphor and metonymy. this article tries to study the concept of death in the holy qurۥān, and nahjul-balāgha, the main islamic texts, to see how this (relatively) abstract concept is conceptualized in mind? moreover, what component ...

An implemented AI reasoning system called ATT-Meta is sketched. It addresses not only AI issues but also ones that are salient in psychology, philosophy, cognitive linguistics, discourse pragmatics and other disciplines. These issues include the Simulation-Theory/Theory-Theory debate and Fauconnier and Turner’s notion of conceptual blending. The system performs metaphor-based reasoning and reas...

Metaphor is a cognitive phenomenon exhibited in language, where one conceptual domain (the target) is thought of in terms of another (the source). The first level of metaphor interpretation is the mapping of linguistic metaphors to pairs of source and target concepts. Based on the abductive approach to metaphor interpretation proposed by Hobbs (1992) and implemented in the open-source Metaphor-...

The goal of this paper is to integrate the Conceptual Mapping Model with an ontology-based knowledge representation (i.e. Suggested Upper Merged Ontology (SUMO)) in order to demonstrate that conceptual metaphor analysis can be restricted and eventually, automated. In particular, we will propose a corporabased operational definition for Mapping Principles, which are explanations of why a convent...

Metaphor is, in essence, mapping from the target domain to the source domain; from the familiar and concrete to the unfamiliar and abstract. When this happens, the entailments of metaphors as well as the contextual information will be integrated into texts and hence form coherent texts. Thus, it is accessible for us to explore discourse cohesion and coherence from the point view of conceptual m...

conceptual metaphor is the most prominent achievements in cognitive linguistics and cognitive semantics. based on this theory, most of the parts of our vision system and mindset is naturally metaphorical, which structures our way of thinking and understanding. therefore, our understanding has strong relationship in all aspects, and since the ethical implications are naturally abstract, metaphor...

We present and evaluate an approach to the reasoning needed to handle a broad class of metaphorical utterances, and a computer program (ATT-Meta) partially implementing and further specifying that approach. The approach emanates from artificial intelligence but is offered also for consideration by cognitive scientists generally. The utterances of interest are ones that (a) rest on conceptual me...
