Semiotic and Metaphor
• Figurative signs• Arbitrariness
• Iconicity• Conventionality
• Motivation• (Noth, h. 129)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 3
The Concept of Metaphor
• The traditional Concept of Metaphor• Narrow sense• Broad sense
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 4
The Concept of Metaphor
• Narrow sense: particular trope among other (i.e metonimi, synecdoche, hyperbole, etc)
• Broad sense: all figures of speech
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 5
Definitional Criteria of Metaphor
• Transfer (Replacement Substitution, Translation) Metaphor in broad sense
• Similarity (Likeness, Comparison, Analogy) Metaphor in the narrow sense
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 6
Definitional Criteria of Metaphor
• Transfer (Replacement Substitution, Translation) Metaphor in broad sense
Metaphora transfer “carrying from one place to another”
Tenor-vehicleMetaphoric triangle Expression, proper
sense, tenor (E, E1, E2)

Theories of Metaphor• Substitution• Comparison• Interaction (Black 1962, dalam
Noth 1995)
• Paradigmatic point of view
• Syntagamtic
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 8
• Dualistic • Double reference of metaphor, literal expression is not completely deleted but instead remains as a semantic background for the figurative meaning and creaters a semantic conflict with it.
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 9
• Dualistic • Comparison theory
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 10
Semantic to Syntax and Pragmatic
• Conventionaly• Codified• Unique • poetic
• iconicity
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 11
• monistic • Process of complete deletion of the literal sense in favor of the figurative one (c.f. feature deletion in semantic componential analysis) (Noth, 1995:129)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 12
On the Conventionality of the Metaphoric Sign
• Arbitrariness and motivation• Conventionality
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 13
Metaphors in Text and in the Language System (noth 131)
• Speech act• Above the level of the word
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 14
On the Iconicity of Metaphor
• Similarity• Classical similarity• Criticism of Similarity
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 15
Peirce Metaphor• Linguistic metaphors are not directly
metaphor because they initianlly signify their literal meaning symbolically (i.e. as arbitrary sigs)
• In second semantic relation, the metaphor functions ironically in representing the similarity of two objects or situations.
• Indirect icon…not shown …describe
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 16
Peirce’s theory• Metaphors exhibited a sort of the third level of
iconicity• The First, signs which represent their objects by
means of similarity is occupied by pictures (images)
• The Second, diagram, a structural similarity between the relations of their elements and those of their objects
• The Third, metaphors are defined as “signs which represent the representativ character pf a representamen by representing a parallelism in somethin else” (p. 133)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 17
Peirce-Icon
• “Anything whatever […] is an icon of anything, in so far as it is like that thing and used as a sign of it”

• Semantic to Syntax and Pragmatic• On the Conventionality of the Metaphoric
Sign• Metaphors in Text and in the Language
System (noth 131)• On the Iconicity of Metaphor• Peirce Metaphor

Danessi and Perron
• Metaphor = verbal ornamentation• Metaphor = substance of abstract
thingking• Unique signifying power• metaphrology
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 21
• Metaphor (meta “beyond” + pherein “to carry”)
“Professor Snake”Professor (primary referent) topic/tenorSnake (vehicle of the metaphor)New meaning (ground)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 22
focus
• Cognition• Communication
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 23
What is metaphor• stilistikorator• Figure of speech• Penggunaan kata atau frase yang menunjuk pada suatu
(satu) gagasan atau objek dengan menggunakan kata atau frase yang berbeda dengan tujuan menghasilkan kemiripan diantara kedua kata/frasa tersebut
• Semiotics: two referents, not one, which related to each other (p. 164) (1) Professor (2) snake
• How the mind probably produces abstract concepts (p. 164)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 24
linguistics
• Cognitive –”..how the mind probably produces abstract concepts.” (p. 164)
• Producing knowledge
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 25
• Metaphor =primary referent, second referent ground (culture-based characteristic)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 26
• {[A1=B1]=[A2=B2]}• Professor [A1=B1]• Snake [A2=B2]• …to think certain referent in terms of
others• Similarities among mong dissimilar thins,
interconnecting them within mind-space. P. 165

Conceptual Metaphor• George Lakoff and Mark Jonson (1980:3)
Metaphors We Live By• Literalmetaphor• Concretemetaphorical reasoningAbstract
concept (Conceptual Metaphor)• Formula (target domain, source domain)• Conceptual metaphor structures the actions
(argument is war)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 28
• Conceptual metaphorizing to image schemats• Sensory experience of locations, movements, shapes,
etc.• Inferent, deduction• Schema = maps• Image schema theory= source domain is not arbitrary
but derived from experience of events=the result of an experiential induction
• Image schema is not replica =mental icon of an experience
• Schema can be associative, fictitious, or narrative• Image schema =picturable mental icons of experiences
and iconic of any sensory modality
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 29
• Sensory (auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, kinesic, emotional quality)
• IS =automatic=hardly ever aware of their control over coneptualization (h. 168)
• Conscousness vs conscious• How far up do you feel?• Are you ok?• IS = abstractive seeing (Susanne Langer 1948)
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 30
Types o fimage schemas
• Orientation• Ontological thinking• Elaboration (of other two)structural
metaphors that extend orientational and ontological concepts “time is a resources”
• Image schema tidak ditemukan lagi di dalam structural metaphor
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 31
Cultural Models• Cultural groupthink is built on conceptual
metaphors• A system of abstract thinking hold together the
entire network of associated meaning in the culture (h. 171)
• Higher order metaphorizing• A great domains are associated with many kinds
of source domain (orientational, ontological, structural)
• Cultural or cognitive models
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 32
Cultural model of ideas
• The constant juxtaposition of such conceptual metaphors in common discourse produce, cumulatively, ac cultural model of ideas that has a specific Gestalt structure
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 33
Metonymy and irony• A part or a domain to present the whole
domain (metonymic concept-Formation)• Synecdoche• Concetpual metonym• Irony = highliting srategy base don the use
of words to convey a menaing contrary to their literal sense
• Statements to criticise
02/03/10 tommy christomy Phd FIBUI 2008 34
Metaphor and grammar
• Grammar category and concept-formation processes (since, from..etc)
• See p. 180

• Signs referential domains for humans to reflect upon, utilize, and store as knowledge
• Metaphorthe form of thought humans use to inter connect such domains into increasingly layered order of meaning
• Human thinkingthe fluid application of existing metaphorical concepts to new situations
