- LING5900-Sec001: CATEGORIES, METAPHOR AND THE MIND In this course we will explore the relation between categories, metaphor and the mind. We will review methods of categorization including family resemblance, markedness, and prototypes, and examine the notion of frames in relation to socio-cultural phenomena. We will address the question of how metaphor and categories shape and are shaped by perception, embodied behavior and thought, and the relation between thought, language and culture. The data will come from categories and metaphors for color, food, language, tense-aspect, emotions, thinking, space, etc. in a variety of languages, including English, Japanese, French, German, Hausa, and Ojibwa.
