Co wspólnego ma metafora z kłamstwem, żartem i udawaniem?

Abstract

What Does a Metaphor Have in Common with a Lie, Joke and Pretence? Linguistic communication consists of speech acts. In this article, I try to show the features which connect different speech acts, such as a lie, a joke, or pretending, with statements of metaphorical nature. I call them acts of communication and social competence. I understand them as ‘acts which have a meaning, are cognitive representations of what others want to communicate, and support social communication’. In the centre of this category is the metaphor which, in light of the cognitive approach, unites our intellect and imagination, and thus is not just a phenomenon of language, but primarily a phenomenon of our thinking and cognition.
