The primary purpose of the study is to perform a thorough assessment of the user interface design of the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology’s Online Enrollment System (NEUST-OES). From there, human-computer interaction concepts such as metaphors, models, appearances, and the overall interface structure and logic flow were evaluated using the Nielsen Ten Usability Heuristics as a model. The results of this study can be utilized for further system improvements, particularly on...

The role of errors in education must be re-examined to allow teachers to exploit fully the educational potential of the error. Student errors have been used as tools to study the learning process and to plan teaching materials. A new metaphor for error making, that of "getting lost," can help uncover some limitations in the current educational use of errors. Developing this metaphor in a generative spirit shows the importance of the context in which the error occurs. Under some...

Since the theory of quantum mechanics became accepted, almost a century ago, we’ve had to get used to living in a world of quantum leaps, Schrodinger’s cats and uncertainty principles. But how well do we really understand the major philosophical implications of quantum mechanics? Today we’ll talk with Dr. Robert Crease, professor of philosophy at Stony Brook University, about how terms from quantum mechanics have found their way into everyday discourse and provided a new set of metaphors...

The homeland security enterprise is still struggling to find a sense of self: the common cause, common language, and common understanding. In effect, the homeland security culture is still elusive. This thesis explores the idea that metaphors can provide a means for conceptualizing, defining, and representing the homeland security enterprise. The use of metaphor encompasses elements of language, philosophy, psychology, and cognition, and therefore how a phenomenon, organization, system, or...

In this article, we have decided to focus on the term “phraseological pun” as well. In this case, the last component of a phraseological unit can have a “free meaning”, that is to say it may lose its primary usage and may change the meaning to mean a different object, item or sense. This technique enables users of the metaphorical idioms to pay attention to more distinctive features of lexemes, to get into the meanings of ordinary words, to feel the expressiveness of a phraseological...

Sarojini Naidu was one of the renowned women poets of Indo Anglian Literature. She contributed remarkably in the arena of Indian poetry in English. Her first volume of poetry The Golden Threshold appeared in 1905 which made her famous at once as a poet of refined poetic sensibility. Her subsequent volumes of poems also made a mark and dealt with varied themes as nature, folk life, patriotism, mysticism, love and death. Sarojini Naidu’s poems reflect her art of writing poetry which is marked...

A study was designed to test the hypothesis that memory for metaphor was primarily a function of the structure of the metaphor itself. Eighty undergraduate students rated the quality of subsets of 80 metaphors and later freely recalled them, while another 40 students simply read metaphors in their extended contexts and later received a surprise cued recall test. Student ratings of metaphoric quality had only a slight relationship to the frequency with which they recalled those metaphors. There...

Using qualitative and interpretive methodologies, this dissertation analyzed Richard Courtney's writings to interpret his basic ideas on learning through drama. It focused on later writings (1989, 1990, 1995, 1997) in which Courtney distilled ideas he had been working on for as many as 30 years. It approached Courtney's texts using dramatistic metaphors which concretized his predominantly abstract writings. These metaphors focused on finding the basic elements of a drama: the setting, the act,...

"Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes can be used as a stimulus for encouraging students to use concrete language and metaphor in writing a poem. Students are asked to imitate the shape and form of the poem and then talk about how it feels to be a poet, find images from other poems they like, imitate other poems, and discuss the difference between poetry and prose. Students are then encouraged to write a concrete paragraph about a specific nonconcrete word such as "beauty" or...

While comparisons of public relations practitioners and attorneys remain attractive among practitioners and scholars searching for evidence of public relation's emergence as a profession, practitioners would be better served by emulating physicians in their "healing" role rather than attorneys in their "advocacy" role. Public relations's use of the physician as metaphor must consider the healer as he supposedly and ideally performed his role in the past. Practicing a...

Two experiments tested a theory of information processing in metaphoric comprehension and appreciation. According to this theory, certain kinds of metaphors are based upon underlying analogies, and the processing components used to interpret these metaphors are highly similar to those used in the interpretation of analogies. A critical difference in the two kinds of information processing, however, is in the interaction of tenor and vehicle in the interpretation of metaphor; a comparable...

This paper examines two examples of the Western model of romance in English and Spanish discourse: the English metaphor, "the (best) way to a man's heart is through his stomach" (journey metaphor) and its Spanish counterpart, "Al hombre se le conquista por el estomago" (war metaphor). Both central metaphors entail a number of perceptual, behavioral, and cognitive tasks that constitute the Western romance model. The paper discusses why English uses a journey metaphor, in...

This three-part workshop presentation explores the ideas of Milton Erickson on the therapeutic relationship and the therapeutic use of metaphor, and applies these ideas to experiential education and adventure therapy. Part 1 introduces the practitioner to the core philosophy within an Ericksonian approach: "utilization" of a client's behavior and symptoms as the material for therapy. In order to utilize this material, the practitioner must develop observational skills to pick up on...

Recent psycholinguistic literature has developed differing interpretations of metaphoric sentences' comprehension. The inadequacies of the psycholinguistic theories of language processing which rest on the assumption according to which language is the expression of a relatively autonomous cognitive activity are highlighted in the interpretation of metaphors as anomalous sentences. The rejection of the thesis of the anomalous character of metaphors because of the acknowledgement of the role of...

Due to linguistic and cultural differences, translating metaphors poses various challenges. Differences in the way languages employ imagery to convey human experience add further complexities. This paper discusses the strategies translators adopt to render metaphors from Arabic into English. To achieve this goal, examples of metaphors in Naguib Mahfouz’s Palace of Desire are singled out, analyzed, and compared with their counterparts in a published English translation. Discussion illustrates...

The Agent-action-Objective (AaO) axiom and the theory of rotational dynamics constitute the frame of reference for the study of the metaphor as instrument for the direct perception of events. The major hypothesis of this frame of reference refers to the event structure embedded in the ground of a metaphor. Since the ground is implicit in the linguistic manifestation, an invariant representation of textual movement patterns is assumed to capture the event structure. Experimentally, it is...

The Romantic ivory-tower metaphor literally controls physical space in ways which undermine both composition's place on campuses and much of the pedagogy and theory it employs. Compositionists' academic office space tends to be located in the periphery campus buildings or in the basements of more geographically desirable buildings. Both the focus on writing "geniuses" and the gendered response to them may explain composition/rhetoric's physical position in the academy and the ongoing...

While the "voice agnostics" are right in pointing to the need for a little more light and a little less heat in defining voice, energies should be focused upon providing a context for students' discoveries about how voice functions and is attained in writing. In the Story Workshop approach to writing instruction the elements from which everything else builds for the writer are seeing and voice, both of which, working together, generate and organize movement. Three principles underlie...

Leaders in any organization can usually see beyond their immediate surroundings and stir the consciousness, emotions, and energies of others to move in a similar direction. This paper suggests metaphor as a useful construct for understanding how people in schools respond to these elusive, yet persuasive leadership influences. Metaphoric languages are at the heart of organizational leadership and communications and provide helpful frameworks for enhancing teaching, research, and educational...

This paper focuses on the relationships which exist between the looking-glass-self theory of human behavior of Charles Horton Cooley (published in 1902) and the idea of social penetration of I. Altman and D. Taylor (published in 1973). The paper discusses Cooley's classic metaphor of the looking-glass-self: humans use the verbal and nonverbal responses of others to fashion a mosaic picture of who they are and how they respond to the world. The paper then discusses the social penetration theory...

Noting that a shared social reality that is constituted, sustained, and modified in symbolic interaction is central to life in an organization, this paper contends that contemporary developments in rhetorical theory make possible careful descriptions of how discourse functions in maintaining and changing that social reality. The paper demonstrates the interpreted nature of experience and the interpreting function of talk in organizations. From this foundation, it reviews how other rhetorical...

Written responses of three women with bulimia were analyzed for instances of metaphoric understanding of their difficulties with food during 20 to 24 therapy sessions. Results show a gradual deepening of the metaphoric understanding of what the troubled eating represented for each client. Metaphoric understanding included ways of dealing with self and others. (MKA)

The fundamental shifts in thinking about communication theory and research that are suggested in the hermeneutic writing made available during the last decade are reviewed in this paper. The issues reviewed include a consideration of hermeneutics as a philosophy of social science, the modern conception of textuality, and the status of interpretive research. The paper also discusses a research project involving metaphors and based on the premise that everyday discourse does not exclusively or...

Metaphor-making is a universal human endeavor that manifests across cultures in various ways. Analyzing metaphors enables educators to gain a greater understanding of many social and cultural issues. Teaching children to write through metaphor based upon their emotional landscapes can reveal much of their inner worlds. Such texts can have a cathartic emotional, spiritual and intellectual value. (Contains 20 references and 8 poems written by students.) (Author/RS)

"Metaphor: Theory and Practice," a senior/graduate seminar taught at Loyola Marymount University, was something of an experiment. Its goal was to engage students in theoretical explorations of metaphor, in analysis of metaphor growing out of those theories, in the creation of their own metaphoric texts, and finally, in the development of new theories of metaphor based on their work in the course. The course began with the exploration of various theories of metaphor: those of I. A....

The process of figuring things out probably is more intriguing than anything else. Metaphor and memory contribute to the figuring out which is done in two personal essays: "Think about It" by Frank Conroy and "The Hidden Teacher" by Loren Eiseley. Metaphor and memory close distances between text and reader, and evoke conditions of intimacy essential in making the essays believable, meaningful, and persuasive. Knowledge comes, among other means, through metaphor and the...

Metaphors affect the way teachers and students see, think, and act, and can be useful in building models to empower students. Three models and their metaphorical foundations are currently at work in pedagogical stances attempting to empower students: (1) the conflict metaphor; (2) the midwife metaphor; and (3) the web metaphor. A metaphor of conflict is built through a rhetoric of aggression that is exclusionary and defeating; in spite of the beneficial side to this model of struggle, the...

This paper begins with a description of four generations of research in machine translation: the original efforts of 1957 to 1965 and three types of surviving and sometimes competing present projects. The three types of present projects include those relying on "brute force" methods involving larger and faster computers; those based on a linguistic tradition which asserts that knowledge required for machine translation can be assimilated to the structure of a grammar-based system with...

This paper proposes to give an evolutionary background to a method developed for the analysis of language seen as expression of intention and morality--the method is named "Perspective Text Analysis." The paper argues that this name indicates that beyond the physical dimension of a text there is a metaphysical one, which can be discovered by a formal mechanism, the cue component of which is the Agent, which controls the perspective of the text. According to the paper, the Agent has...

This paper is the transcript of a talk given to those who use test information but who have little technical background in test theory. The concepts of modern test theory are compared with traditional test theory, as well as a probable future test theory. The explanations given are couched within an extended metaphor that allows a full description of the concepts and implications of test theory without utilizing any mathematics. (Author)

The question of how 'communication' is metaphorized in Japanese is examined and this metaphorization is contrasted with Reddy's (1979) conduit metaphor. A claim is made that there is a strong tendency for Japanese to conceptualize 'word' as 'fluid' and to fuse 'word' and 'meaning.' English, which unlike Japanese, has overt count/mass and singular/plural distinctions, provides indirect support for the claim. It is suggested that one way to revitalize the conduit metaphor is to see how other...

Implicit figuration and subjective interpretation make up the conventional basis of the classical discussion of the comprehensiveness and aesthetic quality of the metaphor. Its function and use in social science research is illustrated as a background to a radically different methodological approach. By means of a Perspective Text Analysis, it is demonstrated that metaphor has to be reconceived as the Re-naming Instrument. The hypothesis tested is that the metaphor carries ecological...

Theoreticians have been asking for a long time what processes are involved in comprehension of figurative language, but psycholinguists have only recently addressed this question. One specific type of figurative expression, the metaphor, has been the focus of much recent research, in part because it promises to contribute much to the understanding of language processing in general and figurative language comprehension specifically. Most theories of semantic processing have focused on literal...

Pupils should develop a thorough appreciation for poetry. Poetry may be correlated with different curriculum areas in elementary schools, such as science, math, and health. Students can be introduced to various poetic forms, such as couplets, triplets, limericks, haiku, and free verse. Teachers should encourage experimentation and novel ideas in the writing of poetry. Various teaching methods can be attempted to foster an understanding of imagery among students. Creative thinking is also an...

Two tasks were used to choose between two rival accounts--cognitive vs. pragmatic--of children's failure to comprehend metaphors. A total of 120 children, in three age groups (6, 7, and 9 years) were given either an explication or a multiple choice task to assess comprehension of 15 novel comparisons expressed in five alternative forms varying in pragmatic difficulty: predicative metaphors; topicless metaphors; similes; quasi-analogies; and riddles. The form in which a comparison was expressed...

Models of similarity have traditionally assumed that the similarity relation is symmetrical. However, when reversed, similarity statements frequently have different properties from those of the original. Previous attempts to account for the asymmetry of similarity have focused only on literal comparisons, resulting in a tendency to underestimate the degree of asymmetry in nonliteral comparisons, that is, similes. In a model of similarity proposed to account for the varying degrees of asymmetry...
