METAPHOR

Metaphor in semsntic 
By : RITA  M.S


METAPHOR
Partly due to the terminological inconsistencies obscuring both tradicional and contemporary acconts, the process governing figurative mappings have to somebextent re

as a generick term for all figures of speech (Eco 1984 : 87 -91). as a result, a satisfactory elucidation of cri
terial featurwd is fraughtbwuth dilother hand, the most the most mundane expression are s
ometimes open classification: To tease apart the differences between metaphor and meto
nimy has proved an intractable undertaking. Provided the justification of recent theories of of metaphor as ( typicalliy ? ) based on metonimy, it may indeed be iimpossible to neatly dis
entangle the two notions.
                    A possible escape hatch might be to view metaphor as a prototipe concept . con

                      My summary about Denotation, connotation, and Implycation in Semantic


Denotation
Is the dictionary meaning of a word.
Conotation
Is the emotional overtones or nuances that the word is understood to have, but which
don't  necessarily show up in the dictionary.
Implication
The fack or state of being plicated in something.

So for example, the words "youngster" and "Child" both have the same denotation.
However, they  have slightly different conotations. "youngster" seems more of a playful, light - hearted word while " child" is morevneutral.

Denotation refers to the literal meaning of a word, the " dictionary definition.


For exple , if you look up the word snake in a dictionary, you will discover  that one of
its denotative meanings is " any of numerous scaly, leggless, sometimes venomous
reptiles having a long , tapering, cylindrical body and found in most tropical and
temperate regions."

Connotation 
on the other hand, refers to the associations that are connected to a certain word or
the emmotional suggestions related to that word.

 Since the above answer are good , I will add a new angle with examples. more impo
rtantly, I will offer some insught, hopefully, of how to use these concepts in unterpreting
passages .
A common misunderstanding in ibterpreting a passage is to look dor meaning in individ
ual words.

Linguistic call  thia aspect of words., Polysemy. The poin is that meanings can change,
even redically, based onvthe context.
therefore responsible interpretation willvrecognizecthat the meaning of words is almost
entirely contextual.

also it will be important to relize that words can connote very different notion with a change
in time and place.
for example slavery has a very different connotation in paul's they than in North America.

my Summary about the euphemism of semantic


A euphemism is a polite expression used in place of words or 
phrases that otherwise might be considered harsh or unpleasant
 to hear.
Euphemisms are used regularly , and there are many examples 
in every day language.


Types of Euphemism

To soften an expression
some euphemisms are used in order to make a blunt or unpleasant
truth seem less harsh.

Example of euphemisms that fall into this category include :
~ passed a way instead of died
~ correctional facility instead of jail
~ The parted instead of died
~ Differently - abled instead of handiccaped or dissabled
~ feel of the back  of s truck instead of engage inpositution

Example  include :
# batting for the other side instead of homosexual
# bit the big one instead of died 
# cemen shoes instead of dead
# croaked instead of vomited 
# hide the sausage instead og sex

Finding more examples
These are just some of the many euphamisms that you
may encounter every day. the next time you or some one 
you ere speaking with says something that has a diffetent 
meaning than the literal words do.
consider whether the statment is a euphemism for some 
other less- polite, less- pleasing word or phrase.
