Di un possibile rapporto tra metafora e categorizzazione : spunti introduttivi

2016 - Bibliopolis

P. 277-299

  • The article explores the cognitive significance of the sense of taste by studying the process of metaphorization as a statement of categorization. Following on from the S. Glucksberg and B. Keysar's research in which the metaphor is investigated as an assertion of inclusion in a class, examining the process that connects the metaphorical phenomenons to those of categorization. Thus the metaphor is represented as a stimulus of our cognitive faculties, without reducing it to a simple substitution or comparison, rather acknowledging it as an effective cognitive, or even heuristic, tool.[Publisher's text]
