Metaphors We Live By

Our classical metaphor now changes our understanding of the metaphor and its role in language and thought. The author explains that the metaphor is a fundamental mechanism of the mind. It allows us to provide an understanding of other countless topics using an understanding of physical and social experiences. These metaphor constitute the most fundamental understanding of our experience, so they are "a metaphor of our lives" - a metaphor can form our perception and behavior without notice

In this latest version of this influential book by Lakoff and Johnson, the authors evolved into cognitive science as the center of contemporary understanding of how their metaphor theory expresses our thoughts in our thoughts and words We will provide a draft for investigating what I did.

We know from neuroscience most thoughts are unconscious and realized by neural circuits. Mark Johnson and I, in our metaphors, most unconscious thinking is figurative and we often show that we come to our lives based on these metaphor. In a simple example, I understand time as a resource like money. It can be seen in expressions such as saving time, wasting time, creating budget time, and spending time to observe friends. Many of us spend our time, worrying about wasting time and trying to save time. In addition to looking at the metaphor as reality, we also act on the metaphor - indeed, many of our social and commercial reality consists of these metaphor. Considering the human brain, figurative life is normal and may be inevitable

The word "metaphor" comes from the Greek word "assignment" or "assignment or leap". Rakov and Johnson explain that in the metaphor of our lives, we experienced the world around us through a metaphor. Indeed, as the title of their book shows, we rely on these metaphor to live. But what if we live with some kind of metaphor that is harmful either personally or professionally? If we want to change some aspects of our lives, how important is it to understand the metaphor to build our everyday experience?

A conceptual metaphor is seen in the language of our daily life. The conceptual metaphor not only shapes our communication but also forms our way of thinking and behavior. In George Lakov and Mark Johnson's book "The Metaphor of Our Life" (1980), we are seeing how everyday words are hidden. An example of a commonly used conceptual metaphor is "argument is war". This metaphor is shaping our language so that we regard the discussion as war or war. It is not uncommon to hear someone say "he won the argument" or "I attacked every weakness in his argument." The way people think that discussion is a metaphor of this argument, a war that must be won with war. Although controversy can be seen in ways other than warfare, we use this concept to shape how to recognize and discuss the argument.
