英文摘要 |
In this paper we propose a cognitive model for analyzing pictorial metaphor in advertisements. Our analysis is based on the many space model proposed by Fauconnier and Turner. We explain what that model is, and how to apply it to an analysis of pictorial metaphors. Our analysis reveals how the compositional principles underlying our picture perception and image reading constrain and guide our understanding of pictorial metaphors. We also provide a classificational scheme of visual designs, which is intended to characterize the salient features of pictorial metaphors in relation to other visual designs in advertisements. |
