SGBS 229 - Theories of Metaphor and Conceptual Blending4.00 credit hours
(Same as: SGBH 229 and SGBN 229 .) Metaphors are arguably at the root of all meaning making. They occur and reoccur in virtually every kind of communication, even non-linguistic forms. At their core, however, metaphors are notoriously difficult to understand themselves. This course surveys a variety of literary, philosophical, psychological, historical and linguistic theories of the work of metaphors in texts from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences.
