Let us entertain you
This thing killed me today (apart from few beers, few shots of whiskey and the devil knows what more). And no – fff doesn’t stand for fuck fuck fuck.

Why metaphor works?
The question, which arose was - why metaphor works? Should it not be formed according to our life experiences, religious beliefs, country we live and surrounding environment? The answer is somewhat moody - if you do not have experience and archetypes when creating metaphor - your expression could be not so effective, but in general the topic is about universal things. Metaphor in deeper sense is not some kind of language figure, but it is cognitive process, which starts before we say (get) our words, which is fundamental in every human being. Lakoff and Johnson says, that metaphor is closely related to human perception of space and time and motoric reactions, which are defined by body and brain functions. This implies that (as every human has a body and a brain) conceptual structures and alike in all mankind. When using metaphor one can describe unknown ideas using very simple descriptions, which are very known to a person, due to the fact, that she is familiar with them from within. So metaphor is a description of physical and perceivable state of a person, which could be communicated using words only (visual, verbal means of communication), which create resonance within unconscious mind.

Semantic Field
Me: hi, teach me rhetoric ;)
Mentor: this is very interesting topic.. vast, sophisticated and broad structure. yes.. it is very interesting..
Me: yeah, I am already hooked on in. Where should I start?
Mentor: what are you interested in? I am sure you are not interested in classical (western) rhetoric... but I think it is a foundation.
Me: Of course, I am interested how to apply it in practice ;) Writing articles for example.
Mentor: Oh.. So you are not interested in rhetoric as a science.. but as a persuasive communication ;)
Me: Naturally I am more interested in how to use it.
Mentor: you can buy that stuff in any bookstore: how to persuade, how to influence, how to win, how to earn....
Me: All this is available on the Internet too ;)

Mentor: learn about semantic field, kid.
Me: The semantic field is the mathematical support for introspective information for human being. With Kripke models, inferential rules are possible among the worlds. Because at any sentence in logic we can associate a part of the semantic field, any conclusion of a chain of inferential deductions can be shown by semantic field. One use the tool of the field theory and the other the tool of inferential process to describe uncertainty in information and also to discover logic structure inside the data.
Me: so this could be used in computer science.
Mentor: maybe. Try to find out why it is useful for linguistic purposes.
Me: will try.. a) if you want to create a metaphor or to analyze existing one, b) it can define more exactly uncertain things and ideas, c) it creates mental images, which are useful to transmit information between two persons speaking different language.
Mentor: I will try to explain:
There is a good science, called Cognitive Linguistics. To make long story short - two guys, Lakoff and Jhonson, wrote a very popular book - metaphors we live by. In that book you can find very clear defined concepts. Probably you can download it on Emule. Also you can read about semiotics, which is the same, but in the opposite direction.
Me: I will buy it.
Mentor: there is no need to buy it.
