Abstract language is, however, difficult to reconcile with this body-centred view, unless we appreciate the role metaphors play. To explore the role of the senses across semantic domains, we focus on perception metaphors, and examine their realisation across diverse languages, methods, and approaches. To what extent do mappings in perception metaphor adhere to predictions based on our biological propensities; and to what extent is there space for cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variation? We find that while some metaphors have widespread commonality, there is more diversity attested than should be comfortable for universalist accounts. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.02cla 17 42 26 Chapter 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;2.

After a brief introduction to some of the main theoretical tools for the analysis of conceptual metaphor, three main areas are discussed: the scope of perception metaphors, the motivation for perception metaphors, and the lexicalisation of perception metaphors. The chapter ends with some indications for future work in this area. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.04and 65 84 20 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 4.

It draws on the analysis carried out by the &#8220;Mapping Metaphor with the Historical Thesaurus&#8221; project, which in turn exploits lexicographical evidence representing the English language over a period of more than a millennium. The foundation of the project is the principle that metaphor can be discerned in the lexis shared across semantic fields. The chapter gives an overview of metaphors with either a source or a target in each of the five perception categories and uses examples from the relatively neglected senses, Touch, Taste and Smell, to illustrate the richness and long history of perception metaphors in English. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.05str 85 104 20 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 5.

This paper investigates whether the regularities observed for the intrafield and transfield polysemy of sensory lexemes can also be noted in the semantic changes that the lexemes undergo over time. Based on lexicographic resources, we analyse the sense(s) of Classical Latin sensory adjectives and &#8220;follow&#8221; them until Contemporary Italian. Our findings indicate that semantic shifts that occurred over time largely conform to the patterns that emerge from synchronic analyses: if some change in meaning occurs, the semantic shift tends to go from a &#8220;lower&#8221; to a &#8220;higher&#8221; sensory modality, or from perceptual to cognitive or abstract senses. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.06win 105 126 22 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6. Synaesthetic metaphors are neither synaesthetic nor metaphorical</TitleText> 1 A01 Bodo Winter Winter, Bodo Bodo Winter University of Birmingham 20 perceptual metaphors 20 primary metaphor 20 synaesthesia 20 the senses 01 Speakers often use metaphor when talking about the contents of perception. For example, a word such as <i>sweet</i> can be used to talk metaphorically about sensory impressions that are not directly related to taste, as in so-called &#8220;synaesthetic metaphors&#8221; such as <i>sweet fragrance</i> and <i>sweet melody</i>. In this chapter, I present arguments against the synaesthetic and metaphorical nature of such expressions. First, a look at the neuropsychological literature reveals that the phenomenon commonly called &#8220;synaesthesia&#8221; bears little resemblance to the metaphors investigated by linguists. Moreover, in contrast to synaesthesia as a neuropsychological phenomenon, most &#8220;synaesthetic&#8221; metaphors involve mappings between highly similar and perceptually integrated sensory modalities, such as taste and smell. Finally, combinations of words that involve dissimilar sensory modalities, such as <i>sweet melody</i>, appear to perform largely evaluative functions. Thus, evaluation might be driving the use of these terms, more so than &#8220;synaesthetic&#8221; perception. I will then compare my analyses to the idea that many metaphors are grounded in primary metaphors and/or metonymies. All in all, this paper suggests that many and perhaps most &#8220;synaesthetic metaphors&#8221; are neither synaesthetic nor metaphorical. From a broader perspective, the case study of synaesthetic metaphors presented here fleshes out the way language and perception are related and how sensory content is encoded in the lexicon of human languages. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.07cab 127 144 18 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 7.

Using data from a corpus of tasting notes written in English (2,053 texts and 100,674 words), it examines the language used in the description of wines&#8217; aromas, flavours and mouthfeel in order to better understand the contribution of metaphor in the transfer of the olfactory, gustatory and tactile experiences to readers. The main concern is to explore expressions that cut across sensory modalities, i.e., instantiate synaesthetic metaphor, and point to the possibility of the synaesthetic motivation of a good amount of the language presumably informed by metaphors of the conceptual type. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.08ste 145 164 20 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8.

Conceptual Metaphor Theory approaches assume that musical motion is motivated by conceptual metaphors like <sc>time is motion</sc> and <sc>change is motion</sc>. The current study aims to investigate whether these conceptual metaphors successfully describe musical motion. For the analysis, a corpus of 10,000 words taken from the genre of music criticism (academic musicology journals and newspaper concert reviews of classical music) was compiled and exhaustively analysed with respect to metaphorical expressions. The results suggest that whereas many motion expressions for music seem to be motivated by <sc>time is motion</sc> as well as <sc>change is motion</sc>, a number of instances may instead present cases of fictive motion. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.10ryz 185 208 24 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 10.

We demonstrate that the semantics of this concept is heterogeneous; lexemes of this field can be used in situations of at least three types: Lifting, Shifting and Weighing. These situations are either lexicalised as separate words, or they converge in a single lexeme in various combinations following certain strategies. We also argue that different metaphorical extensions correspond to different situation types; this allows us to use analysis of metaphoric shifts as an additional instrument to establish the semantic structure of direct meanings. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.11tro 209 230 22 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 11.

This issue is approached from the perspective of corpus-based cognitive linguistics by combining the Theory of Objectification framework and the methodological tools of corpus linguistics. By analysing a wide range of tactile properties ascribed to the selected mental phenomena in light of the Theory of Objectification, the study aims to demonstrate how active, exploratory, tactile experiences of physical objects&#8217; qualities ground our talk about impalpable cognitive phenomena. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.12pro 231 252 22 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

The aim of the paper is to analyse polysemy using two different methods; and to show how and why the results of the two methods differ. The methods used are a sorting task and a behavioural profile analysis. Hierarchical cluster analysis is used to show which senses of <i>n&#228;gema</i> are more similar to each other based on each method, and why. The results show that the main differences stem from the fact that important elements of meaning for the language user are not necessarily objectively annotatable in the corpus. It is argued, however, that both experimental as well as corpus-based methods are valuable tools for polysemy research. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.13ken 253 274 22 Chapter 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 13.

This chapter presents a case study of a recurrent but previously undocumented use of the perception verb <i>see</i> in everyday English conversation. Using conversation analysis, the chapter explicates the use of &#8220;See?&#8221;&#160;&#8211; the verb <i>see</i> produced with rising intonation as a possibly complete turn-constructional unit&#160;&#8211; as claim of evidential vindication. With &#8220;See?&#8221; a speaker claims a just prior turn, action, or event as support for a previous assertive action. The analysis demonstrates that the practice exploits two distinct forms of sequence organisation, adjacency pairs and retro-sequences, and reflects on the fit between the perception verb <i>see</i> and the action it implements within this practice. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.14zes 275 302 28 Chapter 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 14.

To do this, the chapter uses the framework of Sign Language Typology, the systematic comparative study of grammatical/semantic domains across sign languages (Zeshan &#38; Palfreyman, 2017). Sign languages differ from spoken languages due to iconic mapping, that is, the tendency for signs of perception to be articulated at or near the sense organs. This is the basis for two types of signs: those with double-stage metaphors have literal and metaphorical lexical meanings, while those with single-stage metaphors lack literal lexical meanings of perception and instead rely on sublexical iconicity. We cover cross-linguistic patterns of metaphorical extensions of meaning in these signs, and the grammaticalisation of a class of prefixes that are associated with sensory perception. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.15tak 303 326 24 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 15.

This chapter explores instantiations of metaphors of perception in Japanese Sign Language (JSL). Here I propose that the locations of articulation of signs be considered meaningful units and analyse signs articulated on or near to the signer&#8217;s eyes, ears, and nose in JSL. There are some potentially polysemous signs that illustrate meaning extensions from vision to intellection, where signs articulated on the perceptual organs are understood through metaphor. These conceptual metaphors in JSL are compared to the polysemy of perception expressions in the dominant spoken language, Japanese. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.16kov 327 346 20 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 16.

I break down this larger theoretical issue into three sub-issues: One sub-issue concerns what the lexis of smell in English reveals about the conceptual organisation of smell. What is the conceptual prototype of smell? Another has to do with which lexical items are used from the domain of smell to structure other, more abstract concepts. Indeed, I show, partly based on previous work by others, that there are several conceptual metaphors that involve the concept of smell as their source domain. However, and this is the third sub-issue, I also argue that smell can also occur as a target domain in conceptual metaphors. This possibility presents a challenge to conceptual metaphor theory, which claims that perceptual experiences (and the concepts corresponding to them) are understood in a direct, literal way and that concepts that are not based on perceptual experiences (i.e., are not concrete) are understood figuratively by making use of such direct, literal conceptualisations. I conclude that smell is a fairly richly coded concept in English, but whose degree of &#8220;linguistic codability&#8221; can only be established relative to counterpart concepts in other languages and relative to other sense modalities in studies conducted by means of the same methodology and cognitive linguistic machinery as employed in the present one. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.17san 347 368 22 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 17.

In this chapter, we explore the question of how children learning a language come to grips with this complexity, focusing on basic perception verbs as used in child-caregiver interaction in the language Bosavi, spoken in Papua New Guinea. We discuss creative and routinised instances of perception verb use in these interactions, and comment on connections to recognised cross-linguistic patterns of polysemy. Finally, we suggest ways that Christian missionisation and literacy practices may have influenced shifting uses of the language of sight and audition in the Bosavi context. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.met 369 371 3 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of metaphors</TitleText> 10 01 JB code celcr.19.index 373 382 10 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20190221 2019 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027202000 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 95.00 EUR R 01 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 143.00 USD S 638017534 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code CELCR 19 Hb 15 9789027202000 13 2018045420 BB 01 CELCR 02 1566-7774 Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Perception Metaphors</TitleText> 01 celcr.19 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/celcr.19 1 B01 Laura J.

To what extent do mappings in perception metaphor adhere to predictions based on our biological propensities; and to what extent is there space for cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variation? We find that while some metaphors have widespread commonality, there is more diversity attested than should be comfortable for universalist accounts. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.02cla 17 42 26 Chapter 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter&#160;2.

After a brief introduction to some of the main theoretical tools for the analysis of conceptual metaphor, three main areas are discussed: the scope of perception metaphors, the motivation for perception metaphors, and the lexicalisation of perception metaphors. The chapter ends with some indications for future work in this area. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.04and 65 84 20 Chapter 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 4.

It draws on the analysis carried out by the &#8220;Mapping Metaphor with the Historical Thesaurus&#8221; project, which in turn exploits lexicographical evidence representing the English language over a period of more than a millennium. The foundation of the project is the principle that metaphor can be discerned in the lexis shared across semantic fields. The chapter gives an overview of metaphors with either a source or a target in each of the five perception categories and uses examples from the relatively neglected senses, Touch, Taste and Smell, to illustrate the richness and long history of perception metaphors in English. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.05str 85 104 20 Chapter 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 5.

This paper investigates whether the regularities observed for the intrafield and transfield polysemy of sensory lexemes can also be noted in the semantic changes that the lexemes undergo over time. Based on lexicographic resources, we analyse the sense(s) of Classical Latin sensory adjectives and &#8220;follow&#8221; them until Contemporary Italian. Our findings indicate that semantic shifts that occurred over time largely conform to the patterns that emerge from synchronic analyses: if some change in meaning occurs, the semantic shift tends to go from a &#8220;lower&#8221; to a &#8220;higher&#8221; sensory modality, or from perceptual to cognitive or abstract senses. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.06win 105 126 22 Chapter 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 6. Synaesthetic metaphors are neither synaesthetic nor metaphorical</TitleText> 1 A01 Bodo Winter Winter, Bodo Bodo Winter University of Birmingham 20 perceptual metaphors 20 primary metaphor 20 synaesthesia 20 the senses 01 Speakers often use metaphor when talking about the contents of perception. For example, a word such as <i>sweet</i> can be used to talk metaphorically about sensory impressions that are not directly related to taste, as in so-called &#8220;synaesthetic metaphors&#8221; such as <i>sweet fragrance</i> and <i>sweet melody</i>. In this chapter, I present arguments against the synaesthetic and metaphorical nature of such expressions. First, a look at the neuropsychological literature reveals that the phenomenon commonly called &#8220;synaesthesia&#8221; bears little resemblance to the metaphors investigated by linguists. Moreover, in contrast to synaesthesia as a neuropsychological phenomenon, most &#8220;synaesthetic&#8221; metaphors involve mappings between highly similar and perceptually integrated sensory modalities, such as taste and smell. Finally, combinations of words that involve dissimilar sensory modalities, such as <i>sweet melody</i>, appear to perform largely evaluative functions. Thus, evaluation might be driving the use of these terms, more so than &#8220;synaesthetic&#8221; perception. I will then compare my analyses to the idea that many metaphors are grounded in primary metaphors and/or metonymies. All in all, this paper suggests that many and perhaps most &#8220;synaesthetic metaphors&#8221; are neither synaesthetic nor metaphorical. From a broader perspective, the case study of synaesthetic metaphors presented here fleshes out the way language and perception are related and how sensory content is encoded in the lexicon of human languages. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.07cab 127 144 18 Chapter 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 7.

Using data from a corpus of tasting notes written in English (2,053 texts and 100,674 words), it examines the language used in the description of wines&#8217; aromas, flavours and mouthfeel in order to better understand the contribution of metaphor in the transfer of the olfactory, gustatory and tactile experiences to readers. The main concern is to explore expressions that cut across sensory modalities, i.e., instantiate synaesthetic metaphor, and point to the possibility of the synaesthetic motivation of a good amount of the language presumably informed by metaphors of the conceptual type. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.08ste 145 164 20 Chapter 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 8.

Conceptual Metaphor Theory approaches assume that musical motion is motivated by conceptual metaphors like <sc>time is motion</sc> and <sc>change is motion</sc>. The current study aims to investigate whether these conceptual metaphors successfully describe musical motion. For the analysis, a corpus of 10,000 words taken from the genre of music criticism (academic musicology journals and newspaper concert reviews of classical music) was compiled and exhaustively analysed with respect to metaphorical expressions. The results suggest that whereas many motion expressions for music seem to be motivated by <sc>time is motion</sc> as well as <sc>change is motion</sc>, a number of instances may instead present cases of fictive motion. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.10ryz 185 208 24 Chapter 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 10.

We demonstrate that the semantics of this concept is heterogeneous; lexemes of this field can be used in situations of at least three types: Lifting, Shifting and Weighing. These situations are either lexicalised as separate words, or they converge in a single lexeme in various combinations following certain strategies. We also argue that different metaphorical extensions correspond to different situation types; this allows us to use analysis of metaphoric shifts as an additional instrument to establish the semantic structure of direct meanings. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.11tro 209 230 22 Chapter 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 11.

This issue is approached from the perspective of corpus-based cognitive linguistics by combining the Theory of Objectification framework and the methodological tools of corpus linguistics. By analysing a wide range of tactile properties ascribed to the selected mental phenomena in light of the Theory of Objectification, the study aims to demonstrate how active, exploratory, tactile experiences of physical objects&#8217; qualities ground our talk about impalpable cognitive phenomena. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.12pro 231 252 22 Chapter 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 12.

The aim of the paper is to analyse polysemy using two different methods; and to show how and why the results of the two methods differ. The methods used are a sorting task and a behavioural profile analysis. Hierarchical cluster analysis is used to show which senses of <i>n&#228;gema</i> are more similar to each other based on each method, and why. The results show that the main differences stem from the fact that important elements of meaning for the language user are not necessarily objectively annotatable in the corpus. It is argued, however, that both experimental as well as corpus-based methods are valuable tools for polysemy research. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.13ken 253 274 22 Chapter 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 13.

This chapter presents a case study of a recurrent but previously undocumented use of the perception verb <i>see</i> in everyday English conversation. Using conversation analysis, the chapter explicates the use of &#8220;See?&#8221;&#160;&#8211; the verb <i>see</i> produced with rising intonation as a possibly complete turn-constructional unit&#160;&#8211; as claim of evidential vindication. With &#8220;See?&#8221; a speaker claims a just prior turn, action, or event as support for a previous assertive action. The analysis demonstrates that the practice exploits two distinct forms of sequence organisation, adjacency pairs and retro-sequences, and reflects on the fit between the perception verb <i>see</i> and the action it implements within this practice. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.14zes 275 302 28 Chapter 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 14.

To do this, the chapter uses the framework of Sign Language Typology, the systematic comparative study of grammatical/semantic domains across sign languages (Zeshan &#38; Palfreyman, 2017). Sign languages differ from spoken languages due to iconic mapping, that is, the tendency for signs of perception to be articulated at or near the sense organs. This is the basis for two types of signs: those with double-stage metaphors have literal and metaphorical lexical meanings, while those with single-stage metaphors lack literal lexical meanings of perception and instead rely on sublexical iconicity. We cover cross-linguistic patterns of metaphorical extensions of meaning in these signs, and the grammaticalisation of a class of prefixes that are associated with sensory perception. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.15tak 303 326 24 Chapter 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 15.

This chapter explores instantiations of metaphors of perception in Japanese Sign Language (JSL). Here I propose that the locations of articulation of signs be considered meaningful units and analyse signs articulated on or near to the signer&#8217;s eyes, ears, and nose in JSL. There are some potentially polysemous signs that illustrate meaning extensions from vision to intellection, where signs articulated on the perceptual organs are understood through metaphor. These conceptual metaphors in JSL are compared to the polysemy of perception expressions in the dominant spoken language, Japanese. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.16kov 327 346 20 Chapter 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 16.

I break down this larger theoretical issue into three sub-issues: One sub-issue concerns what the lexis of smell in English reveals about the conceptual organisation of smell. What is the conceptual prototype of smell? Another has to do with which lexical items are used from the domain of smell to structure other, more abstract concepts. Indeed, I show, partly based on previous work by others, that there are several conceptual metaphors that involve the concept of smell as their source domain. However, and this is the third sub-issue, I also argue that smell can also occur as a target domain in conceptual metaphors. This possibility presents a challenge to conceptual metaphor theory, which claims that perceptual experiences (and the concepts corresponding to them) are understood in a direct, literal way and that concepts that are not based on perceptual experiences (i.e., are not concrete) are understood figuratively by making use of such direct, literal conceptualisations. I conclude that smell is a fairly richly coded concept in English, but whose degree of &#8220;linguistic codability&#8221; can only be established relative to counterpart concepts in other languages and relative to other sense modalities in studies conducted by means of the same methodology and cognitive linguistic machinery as employed in the present one. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.17san 347 368 22 Chapter 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 17.

Schieffelin Schieffelin, Bambi B. Bambi B. Schieffelin New York University 20 language socialisation 20 Papua New Guinea 20 polysemy 01 Perceptual language is a rich site of polysemous meaning and pragmatic extension. In this chapter, we explore the question of how children learning a language come to grips with this complexity, focusing on basic perception verbs as used in child-caregiver interaction in the language Bosavi, spoken in Papua New Guinea. We discuss creative and routinised instances of perception verb use in these interactions, and comment on connections to recognised cross-linguistic patterns of polysemy. Finally, we suggest ways that Christian missionisation and literacy practices may have influenced shifting uses of the language of sight and audition in the Bosavi context. 10 01 JB code celcr.19.met 369 371 3 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">List of metaphors</TitleText> 10 01 JB code celcr.19.index 373 382 10 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20190221 2019 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 840 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 44 18 01 02 JB 1 00 95.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 100.70 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 18 02 02 JB 1 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 1 18 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 143.00 USD
