Structuring Concept Generation with the Help of Metaphor, Analogy and Schematicity
Language, Music, Visual Art – common sense notions and academic systems have both treated meaning generation by these three semiotic codes as disparate, unique activities. The aim of our project is to look beyond existent notions, rooted either in common sense or scientific thinking, in order to discover a novel, unified perspective.
Drawing upon 50 years of groundbreaking research in the field of linguistics, our investigation builds on current trends in cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics and multimodal studies with the aim of building a truly multidisciplinary approach to meaning generation.
