タイトル：Metaphor in culture

 

ご発表は，メールによると以下の通りです。

I could talk about how metaphors vary cross-culturally, using evidence that I feel might interest you and your colleagues, including evidence from therapy, literature, etc. In other words, the idea would not be so much to talk about narrowly linguistic issues but somewhat generally about the function of metaphor in how the mind works.
