2019 An algebraic perspective on abstract and concrete domains Cognitive Linguistic Studies 6:2, pp. 354–369 | Article
Looking at isomorphic constructs from an algebraic perspective, this article suggests that every concrete construct is understood by reference to an underlying abstract schema in the mind of comprehender. The complex form of every abstract schema is created by the gradual development of its… read more
2016 An algebraic perspective on implicit and explicit knowledge Cognitive Linguistic Studies 3:1, pp. 151–162 | Article
The isomorphic relationship between an infinite number of concrete algebraic groups and the existence of a single abstract group that underlies all these concrete groups is one of the most fundamental subjects in Abstract Algebra. Looking at the process of explicit learning from a mathematical… read more
2015 Abstract and concrete representations in structure-mapping and class-inclusion Cognitive Linguistic Studies 2:2, pp. 349–360 | Article
This article presents an Abstract Algebraic framework within which two major theories of metaphor comprehension, the class-inclusion and structure-mapping, are incorporated. Looking at Gentner’s structure-mapping model from this perspective, this article suggests that any comparison between two… read more
