The purpose of this course

Introduction
In this course, we will explore the fascinating world of metaphor and metonymy, two essential cognitive processes that shape our language, thought, and communication.
Metaphors and metonymies are all around us, in our everyday language, advertising, politics, and media. They allow us to understand abstract concepts, create new meanings, and make sense of the world around us. However, the creation and interpretation of metaphors and metonymies are not just arbitrary and random; they are governed by cognitive processes deeply ingrained in our minds.
Through this course, we will examine the underlying cognitive mechanisms that enable us to create and interpret metaphors and metonymies. We will start with an introduction to the basic concepts and principles of metaphor and metonymy, and then delve into the various theories and research in the field. We will also explore the role of metaphor and metonymy in shaping thought and communication, and examine how they are used in real-world contexts such as advertising and politics.
By the end of the course, you will have a deep understanding of the cognitive processes involved in the creation, interpretation, and use of metaphors and metonymies. You will also be able to critically evaluate current theories and research in the field and apply your knowledge of metaphor and metonymy to real-world contexts.
The purpose of this course - is to provide an in-depth exploration of the cognitive study of metaphor and metonymy. Through this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental principles, theories, and research related to metaphor and metonymy, and how these processes shape our language, thought, and communication.
The subject of this course - is the cognitive study of metaphor and metonymy. Metaphor and metonymy are two fundamental aspects of human language and thought, and play a crucial role in shaping how we understand and communicate about the world around us.
