| Main themes |
In the introductory part of this course, different theories analysing the metaphorical processes in general and in linguistics in particular will be presented, illustrated (in Dutch) and criticized; in the practical part, Lakoff and Johnson 's theory of conceptual metaphors will be applied to the semantics of Dutch compound verbs (so called "samengestelde werkwoorden" or "phrasal verbs").
|
| Aims |
The aims of this course are :
to develop a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamental role of metaphorical processes in natural languages in general, in everyday Dutch in particular;
to substantially improve the students' competence by analysing the metaphorical processes in the semantics of Dutch compound verbs ("samengestelde werkwoorden" or so called phrasal verbs).
|
| Content |
presented and applied to Dutch. Special interest will be devoted to the conceptual metaphor theory developed by Lakoff and Johnson.
In the practical part of the course, some of the following aspects of Dutch compound verbs will be analysed through conceptual metaphor theory :
1.Contact and proximity between trajectory and site (aan-, bij-, tegen-).
2.Absence of contact (af-, weg-, los-).
3.Circular trajects (rond-, om-).
4.Trajector's orientation along a vertical line (op-, boven-, over-, onder-).
5.Trajector's orientation along a horizontal line (naar-, toe-).
6.Trajector's orientation towards (away from) its site, perceived as a container (in-, uit-, open-, dicht-).
7.Temporal relations (na-, voort-).
