Javanese Metaphors in Discourse Analysis (Indonesia)
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis study focuses on three major issues: exploring the possibility of separating Javanese metaphors into universal and language-specific, proposing a model of understanding metaphors, and determining the domain within which metaphors are interpreted. A separation of Javanese metaphors into universal and language-specific is necessary to answer the question "Why are some metaphors readily interpretable while others are not when viewed from different cultural background?" The proposed model begins with the given utterance and is followed by three components: shared predications, experiential gestalts, and semantic and pragmatic interpretations.
