“…For DGS, the forehead is FEAST vol. 5, 2023 the most frequent PoA in signs within the semantic domain of cognition whereas other studies describe this relationship for the PoA head (Kimmelman, Klezovich, and Moroz 2018;Zeshan and Palfreyman 2019) or temple (Zeshan 2000;Zeshan and Palfreyman 2019). However, it may well be that this difference is not language-specific, but rather due to the different annotation schemes used in the different studies, as the grouping of PoAs in this study also shows.…”

This relationship between form and meaning with regard to the PoA is especially apparent in perception signs where the sense organ functions as the sign's base (Zeshan and Palfreyman 2019).…”

“…The direct iconicity between the PoA (fore)head and the semantic domain of cognition has been described for multiple sign languages such as American Sign Langauge (ASL), German Sign Language (DGS), Indo-Pakistan Sign Language (IPSL), Russian Sign Language (RSL) and Swedish Sign Language (STS), amongst others (Börstell and Östling 2017;Kimmelman et al 2017;Konrad et al 2007;Östling, Börstell, and Courtaux 2018;Rosenstock 2006;Wilcox 2005;Zeshan 2000;Zeshan and Palfreyman 2019). Zeshan (2000) further describes a relationship between the semantic domain of cognition and the PoA temple for IPSL which is also mentioned in the typological work by Zeshan and Palfreyman (2019). In their quantitative study, Östling, Börstell, and Courtaux (2018) found that signs for 'think' show less crosslinguistic variation in the PoA, that is, the (fore)head is seen as a directly iconic PoA.…”

“…Therefore, we investigate the distribution of PoAs in signs within the semantic domain of cognition by using data from the DGS corpus and present a quantitative analysis. Further, we investigate the distribution of PoAs in signs within the semantic domain of visual perception, as Zeshan and Palfreyman (2019) suggest the eye(s) as PoA for this semantic domain. For both, we look at the direct iconic relationship between semantic domain and associated PoA.…”

Iconicity, the (perceived) form-meaning relationship, is present on all linguistic levels insign languages. Looking at the phonological level, there is awell established relationshipbetween the (fore)head as place of articulation (PoA) and the semantic domain of cognitionfor multiple sign languages. In previous studies, this relationship has been suggestedfor German Sign Language (DGS) as well, but none of them looked at the quantitativedistribution of PoAs in signs within the semantic domain of cognition. In thisstudy, we not only investigate the quantitative distribution of PoAs in signs of the semanticdomain of cognition for DGS but also in the semantic domain of visual perception.Findings of this study are in line with previous research, suggesting a strong relationshipbetween the semantic domain of cognition and the associated PoA (fore)head. Forthe semantic domain of visual perception, signs are predominantly articulated near theupper half of the face but not always close to the expected PoA, namely the eyes in thenarrow sense.

Using Figurative Language

Using Figurative Language presents results from a multidisciplinary decades-long study of figurative language that addresses the question, 'Why don't people just say what they mean?' This research empirically investigates goals speakers or writers have when speaking (writing) figuratively, and concomitantly, meaning effects wrought by figurative language usage. These 'pragmatic effects' arise from many kinds of figurative language including metaphors (e.g. 'This computer is a dinosaur'), verbal irony (e.g. 'Nice place you got here'), idioms (e.g. 'Bite the bullet'), proverbs (e.g. 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket') and others. Reviewed studies explore mechanisms - linguistic, psychological, social and others - underlying pragmatic effects, some traced to basic processes embedded in human sensory, perceptual, embodied, cognitive, social and schematic functioning. The book should interest readers, researchers and scholars in fields beyond psychology, linguistics and philosophy that share interests in figurative language - including language studies, communication, literary criticism, neuroscience, semiotics, rhetoric and anthropology.
