“…If there are no “temporal percepts,” what is time? Cognitive linguists answer this question by holding the view that time has a phenomenological basis ( Evans, 2019 , p. 97). That is to say, time has a subjectively and psychologically real experience, which is directly, at least in part, perceived at the level of subjective awareness.…”

Bibliometric assessment of world scholars’ international publications related to conceptual metaphor

2022

Research on metaphor has gained increasing attention of world’s scholars since the publication of Lakoff and Johnson’s collaborated book Metaphors We Live By in 1980. The present study comprises a pioneering review of publications on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT). It aimed to use the CiteSpace software to provide a clear overview of international research in relation to CMT. In total, 4,458 bibliometric recordings ranging from 1980 to 2022 were collected from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection. The descriptive analysis presents the trend of annual publications, the top 10 most prolific journals and the top 10 most productive authors. A document co-citation analysis was conducted via CiteSpace to navigate the key documents in this field. A visualization of keywords and its cluster analysis were conducted to show the research fields and dominant topics. The top 5 keywords with high frequency were language, comprehension, conceptual metaphor, discourse, and figurative language. The most prominent 5 clusters are labeled as right hemisphere, self, time, teacher education, and corpus linguistics. The present review through CiteSpace flags the need for more investigations of CMT from more aspects or interdisciplinary studies, such as metaphor translation, metaphor in literature, metaphor and corpus linguistics, etc.

“…The semantic fields are sets of lexical units that are in close or distant relations in accordance with their prototypical meaning. Such lexical units are the object of conceptual analysis in a certain context (Evans & Pourcel, 2009; Evans, 2019). The semantic fields of all lexical units referring to mental and physiological anomalies, for example, reflect the lexical structure of the category “deviation.”…”

This research deals with revealing various linguistic units: lexemes and collocations within the framework of semantic fields of notional components of the category of deviation that are reflected in the works of professional translators, Michael Glenny, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov in the English language. The author takes the method of conceptual analysis of the linguistic units of expressing different parts of semantic fields of components of the mental unit of deviation in English as the basic one here. Lexemes and collocations are also the focus of a contextual method of reviewing the translators’ approaches to the linguistic units of the work under analysis. Different semantic spheres based on personal and professional experience of Michael Glenny, Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky reflect the category of deviation in translations of the novel under study. This category includes the central part and periphery. The central part implies the lexemes and collocations of neutral-bookish style, and the periphery means lexical units of informal style. The author also distinguishes the interpretative field within the semantic fields of the category of deviation. The results given in this article can be a basis for comparative analysis of translations within one language or as a source of a contrastive analysis of literary works.

“…We can create new spaces in it (p.11). Evans (2006) states that meaning construction, which refers to larger units of language such as sentences and texts, is treated by cognitive semanticists as a process that is inherently conceptual in character. Sentences, in this view, serve as "partial instructions" for the building of sophisticated but temporary conceptual domains, which are put together as a result of continuous speech.…”

A Cognitive Approach to Mental Spaces in English and Kurdish

In this article, mental spaces in English and Kurdish are analyzed. The study investigates the construction of mental space in English and Kurdish in order to identify differences and similarities between the two languages. Examples from both languages are used. The Kurdish examples are taken from rudaw.com and English examples are from every day uses and bbc.com. Mental space builders based on the Fauconnier approach are examined and shown to be effective, including modal verbs, prepositional phrases, negative constructions, and discourse markers. Although each of these components serves as a space builder, the structure of the sentences that contain them varies between the two languages. For instance, in Kurdish negative constructions, the negative element appears at the end of the sentence, delaying the listener's perception of the negativity until the speaker completes the sentence.
