  1. Perceiving Metaphors: An Approach From Developmental Ecological Psychology.Agnes Szokolszky - 2019 - Metaphor and Symbol 34 (1):17-32.
    This article presents a developmental ecological approach to the emergence and development of metaphor in children, based on the ecological psychology tradition following the work of J.J. Gibson, and its extension into developmental research and theory, as developed by E.J. Gibson and others. This framework suggests that a basic compatibility and meaningfulness exists between the knower and the known, based on the direct perception of affordances. To build an ecological understanding of metaphor we need to clarify how this metaphysical ground (...)

  • Spectrums of thought in gesture.Michael Paul Stevens & Simon Harrison - 2017 - Pragmatics and Cognition 24 (3):441-473.
    This study examines the form and function of gestural depictions that develop over extended stretches of concept explanation by a philosopher. Building onStreeck’s (2009)explorations of depiction by gesture, we examine how this speaker’s process of exposition involves sequences of multimodal, analogical depiction by which the philosophical concepts are not only expressed through gesture forms, but also dynamically analyzed and construed through gestural activity. Drawing on perspectives of gesture as active meaning making (Müller 2014,2016,Streeck 2009), we argue that the build-up of (...)

  • Rest in space, Starman! Creative reframing of death metaphors on David Bowie’s mural in London.Paula Pérez-Sobrino & Laura Hidalgo-Downing - 2022 - Discourse Studies 24 (5):566-589.
    This article explores the way in which death metaphors written in the urban mural for David Bowie in London contribute to creatively reframing the artist’s death. While research on death metaphors has focussed on traditional written genres such as obituaries and epitaphs, studies of urban memorials and shrines have focussed on the creation of fandom identities, downplaying the role played by figurativity, creativity and emotional connotation. The present article aims to bridge the gap between these two areas of study by (...)

  • The Indexical Affordance of Metaphor: Stain as a Case Example.Thomas Wiben Jensen - 2022 - Metaphor and Symbol 37 (3):208-228.
    This paper investigates an unexplored indexical dimension inherent in the mapping structure of metaphor. The empirical focus is on the metaphor of stain but the scope of indexicality in relation to...

  • Emotion in languaging: languaging as affective, adaptive, and flexible behavior in social interaction.Thomas W. Jensen - 2014 - Frontiers in Psychology 5:96268.
    This article argues for a view on languaging as inherently affective. Informed by recent ecological tendencies within cognitive science and distributed language studies a distinction between first order languaging (language as whole-body sense making) and second order language (language as system like constraints) is put forward. Contrary to common assumptions within linguistics and communication studies separating language-as-a-system from language use (resulting in separations between language vs. body-language and verbal vs. non-verbal communication etc.) the first/second order distinction sees language as emanating (...)

  • Metaphoricity in the real estate showroom: Affordance spaces for sensorimotor shopping.Simon Harrison & David H. Fleming - 2019 - Metaphor and Symbol 34 (1):45-60.
    This article adopts an ecological view of cognition to analyze the role of the environment in scaffolding metaphorical experience. Using ethnographic material collected from two real estate showrooms in China, we describe how each showroom setting is equipped with to-be-phenomenologically-experienced objects designed to stimulate desirable sensorimotor experiences and altered bodily states during the guided showroom tours. By analyzing the qualities of such settings and identifying the processes through which visitors become environmentally coupled—including active and passive touch in highly organized auditory, (...)
