consistently immobile).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-figurative-language-toolkit.html

Catholic Church and science - Current Church doctrine

1 it should be remembered that the sacred writers, or more truly ‘the Spirit of God who spoke through

them, did not wish to teach men such truths (as the inner structure of visible objects) which do not help

anyone to salvation’; and that, for this reason, rather than trying to provide a scientific exposition of nature, they sometimes describe and treat these matters either in a somewhat figurative language or as the common manner of speech those times required, and indeed still requires nowadays in

everyday life, even amongst most learned people.(Leo XIII, Providentissimus Deus 18)

1 An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which a pair of opposite or contradictory terms is

used together for emphasis. Origin: Since then, research has cast doubt on the model. In tests, figurative language was found to be comprehended at the same speed as literal language; and so premise that the recipient

was first attempting to process a literal meaning and discarding it before attempting to process a figurative meaning appears to

be a false premise.

Perspectives


Comprehension of Idioms - History

1 Psycholinguistic research in idiom comprehension began in the 1970s. Early research on figurative language

typically assumed that comprehending figurative and literal language involved different kinds of processes. The non-compositional

models of idiom comprehension were constructed based on this

assumption. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-figurative-language-toolkit.html

Comprehension of Idioms - Compositional Models

1 Compositional models assume that idiom comprehension uses normal language

processing. When an idiomatic expression is encountered, it is processed incrementally

like a normal expression (language)|expression. Components of an idiomatic word

string contribute to a literal and figurative language|figurative meaning in either a literal or metaphorical way. Compositional models include the configurational hypothesis and

the conceptual metaphor hypothesis.

Persuasive definition - Overview and example

1 Unclear, figurative language is often used in persuasive definitions. Although several techniques can be used to form such a

definition, the genus–differentia definition|genus and difference technique is the usual one

applied. Both definitions in the taxation example above agree that the genus is a

procedure relating to governance but disagree on the difference. Persuasive definitions

combine elements of stipulative definitions, lexical definitions, and sometimes theoretical

definitions.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-figurative-language-toolkit.html

he published a work explaining the more difficult aspects, the Espositioni (1542), and

an analysis of the poem's figurative language, the Modi affigurati (1554).

Fleury-François Richard - Critique

1 In Fleury-Richard's critical writings scholars find a reflection prefiguring of his attachment

to Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism before Symbolism even existed: Painting is not an

imitation of reality. It is a symbol, a figurative language which presents the image of

thought; and thought rises to the source of infinite beauty, there finding the archetypical

forms signalled by Plato, of which created beings are only copies.Quoted by Stephen

Bann, Le Temps de la peinture, op. cit., p. 57.


Riddle - Ancestry

1 The general technique of the riddle form is to refer obliquely to the subject by kenning and other sorts of figurative

language; since kennings formed such an important element of alliterative verse forms in the Germanic languages, the

riddles served the dual empirical purpose of puzzling the poet's audience and

teaching the lore needed to successfully use or understand the poetic language

Two Witnesses - Textual analysis

1 Their description as two olive trees and two lampstands may be

symbolism, allegory, or literal and figurative language|literal


Two Witnesses - Enoch, Moses or Elijah

1 By the identification of the two olive branches as two anointed ones or

two sons of the oil, in Zechariah, this reinforces the literal and figurative

language|literalist interpretation that the two witnesses are two people


Fallacies of definition - Obscurity

1 Definitions can go wrong by using ambiguous, obscure, or figurative language. If beauty is defined as

aesthetically successful, one must continue to break down and define

the following definition. This can lead to circular definitions. Definitions

should be defined in the most prosaic form of language to be understood.

Failure to elucidate provides fallacious definitions.


Reading for special needs - Difficulties with reading comprehension

1 Strategies that can be used to improve reading comprehension include: building oral and

auditory language skills, including skills in: vocabulary knowledge, narratives, listening comprehension, and figurative language.

Additionally, when working toward increasing reading comprehension for specific texts, one can preteach vocabulary words and discuss

prior knowledge on a topic related to the text before reading. (Also see reading

comprehension for more strategies and information.)

Tone (literature) - Usage

1 All pieces of literature, even official documents and technical documents, have some sort of tone. Authors create tone through the use of various other literary

elements, such as diction or word choice; syntax, the grammatical arrangement of

the comparison of seemingly unrelated things for sub-textual purposes.

1 Thus, the treatment of amplification is amplified, the treatment of abbreviation is abbreviated,

metaphor is discussed in figurative language


Geoffrey of Vinsauf - The Poetria nova

1 Figurative language is discussed in detail in the Poetria nova, which marks this treatise as

grammatical. However, two of the central parts of the Poetria nova - Invention of

subject matter and disposition or organization of the work - belong to the domain of

rhetoric. Likewise, Memoria|memory and Pronuntiatio|delivery are traditionally

affiliated with rhetoric. The Poetria nova thus constitutes an intersection of grammar and

rhetoric in the medieval curriculum.

Eugene Nida - Theories

1 Nida and Lawrence Venuti have proved that translation studies is a much more complex discipline than may

first appear, with the translator having to look beyond the text itself to deconstruct on an intra-textual level and decode on a referential level—assessing culture-

specific items, idiom and figurative language to achieve an understanding of the source text and embark upon creating a translation which not only transfers what

words mean in a given context, but also recreates the impact of the original text within the limits of the

translator's own language system (linked to this topic: George Steiner, the Hermeneutic Motion, pragmatics,

field, tenor, mode and the locutionary, illocutionary and perlocutionary)

1 Such language serves to further emphasise the artificiality of the play; in a sense, they suggest to the audience that it is hearing a poem read rather than seeing the events of that poem put
