Linguistic and metalinguistic resemblance
Authors: Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez Francisco José , Barreras Gómez María Asunción 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Similarity judgments are fundamental to
cognition. They are part and parcel of our ability as humans to deal
with the world around us. This ability shows in how we structure
and use language. In this context, this chapter addresses the role
of perceived similarity, or resemblance, in
language use. It starts from a basic distinction between linguistic
and metalinguistic resemblance. The former addresses similarities
between entities and states of affairs, while the latter addresses
metarepresentational aspects of language, which can be treated in
terms of the notion of echo. It further distinguishes three
dimensions of linguistic resemblance: attribute-based resemblance,
structural resemblance, and high versus low-level resemblance. It
pays special attention to the important theoretical status of
high-level resemblance as a constraining factor on experiential
correlation, which is also active in synesthesia and situation and
event-based metaphors. The paper then discusses the role of
resemblance in cross-domain relations in irony, hyperbole, and
understatement, and it ends with an analysis of the role of
metalinguistic resemblance as a pre-requisite for the inferential
activity which arises from ironic, parodic, and metonymy-based
implicational echoes.
Looking for metaphor in the natural world
Authors: Gibbs Raymond W. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Metaphor in thought, language, and other
expressive actions, emerges not just from the body (or culture)
alone, but from humans acting in the natural world. Numerous natural
world phenomena serve as source domains in many areas of
metaphorical thinking and language use. This is not surprising given
people’s intimate relations with the natural word, yet this fact has
not been sufficiently acknowledged in contemporary theories of
metaphor. My aim in this chapter is to outline some of the
methodological strategies that scholars may adopt to detect how
people’s interactions with the natural world may give rise to very
different metaphorical experiences. These strategies focus on
several ways that scholars can seek evidence of the impact of the
natural world on metaphorical thinking: from linguistic analyses,
experimental studies, ethnographic investigations, and
hypothesis-driven examinations of human actions in a variety of
contexts. Collectively, these methods for finding metaphor in the
natural world highlight the importance of an ecological perspective
on metaphor (e.g., what the world affords for meaning) and provide
new insights into theoretical models of metaphorical thought and
meaning-making.
Metaphor meets narrative
Authors: Horst Dorothea 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Prevalent cognitive readings of narrative in film
have generally described it as a causal-logical re-organization of
audiovisually represented agents, actions and spaces that is achieved through
mental processing. Suggesting that such a perspective fundamentally
disregards the media mode of perception that distinguishes
film-viewing from other media experiences, the chapter proposes an
alternative view. It presents an analysis of a TV news feature in
order to demonstrate that metaphor and film share a coupling of two
distinct realms of experience that provides the grounds for a
fictional world and a narrative to emerge. The chapter concludes with an
understanding of narrative as a dynamic embodied process of “narrativizing” instead of a
product being reconstructed from given representations.
On syntactic categories and metaphors
Authors: Popova Milena 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper aims at studying some syntactic
categories in Spanish, namely, atypical subjects and emphatic
constructions, in the context of relevant developments in the
conceptualization of grammaticalization. The analysis is carried out
on the basis of multifaceted and holistic approaches with regard to
the dynamic interplay between formal, semantic and pragmatic aspects
of Spanish utterances. Attention is drawn to some diachronic and
cross-linguistic aspects of the addressed problems. Metaphor and
metonymy are regarded as basic ways of grammaticalization.
What drives emotion and physiological arousal in adverts?
Authors: Houghton David , Littlemore Jeannette , Ford Samantha , Harfield Chelsea , Marder Ben 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The inclusion of figurative operations in
marketing videos has the potential to improve the effectiveness of
marketing campaigns due to their reported ability to trigger
emotional responses, thus making the campaigns resonate more
strongly with the viewer. This study explored the relationship
between the presence of three figurative operations (hyperbole,
metaphor and metonymy) in campaign videos and the levels of
physiological arousal and emotion that were triggered by those
videos. Seven videos were coded for these three embedded figurative
operations. Participants watched the videos in laboratory
conditions, where their levels of electrodermal activity and
self-report emotional responses were recorded. The ability of these
figurative operations to trigger physiological arousal was compared
to that of two other features that have been shown to promote
arousal (the presence of humor and unmarked contrast). The presence
of hyperbole led to higher levels of arousal than humor and unmarked
contrast, the presence of metaphor led to higher levels of arousal
than humor, and the presence of metonymy led to higher levels of
arousal than humor, but lower levels than unmarked contrast.
Associations between these arousal levels and the reported emotions
are discussed, and collectively provide insights into the optimal
use of figurative operations in marketing campaign videos. Our
findings contribute to a deeper theoretical understanding of the
relationship between figurative operations and arousal, and provide
practitioners with information regarding which figurative operations
are likely to evoke a stronger emotional response when used in
marketing videos.
Metonymy in multimodal discourse, or
Authors: Brdar-Szabó Rita , Brdar Mario 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
One of the most intriguing open issues in
metonymy research is the nature of metonymies that transcend or do
not appear in spoken/written language. More specifically, we should
clarify the issue of whether there exist genuine multimodal (or
polysemiotic) metonymies, parallel to multimodal metaphors. Taking
into consideration their essence and the way that metonymies are
defined, it is clear that, strictly speaking there could be no
multimodal metonymies of the simplest kind. However, multimodality
is possible in the case of complex metonymies, and metonymies
interacting with metaphors. The results of all these processes that
unsurprisingly leave the impression of novelty and creativity are
regularly put to very effective uses, even leading to hyperbolic
and/or ironic effects.
Metonymic patterns of count-to-mass and mass-to-count changes and
their implications for metonymy research
Authors: Drożdż Grzegorz 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This chapter formulates a proposal for dealing
with two of the notorious problems of countability and
uncountability in English: the problem of nouns changing their
grammatical properties from count to mass and mass to count, and
establishing the regularities of such changes. On the basis of the
assumptions of Cognitive Grammar (e.g., Langacker, 2000, 2008), the chapter shows how, through an
analysis of 30 count and 30 mass nouns (Drożdż, 2017), one more dimension arises:
the metonymic one. This dimension enables a juxtaposition of this
kind of research with that of Cognitive Metaphor Theory / Cognitive
Metonymy Theory (Radden &
Kövecses, 1999; Kövecses 2010, etc.), where comparable,
conceptual structures are indicated. This leads to a discussion of
certain issues concerning the methodology of metonymy analysis, the
types of structures determined within both approaches, and their
ultimate properties.
What is time?
Authors: Piata Anna 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on poetic metaphors of time that appear in so-called equations, that is, copula constructions of the form ‘NP be NP’. While metaphorical creativity of time has been extensively and thoroughly studied, research on such metaphors is rather limited and mostly associated with image metaphors. Based on data from the English PoetiCog corpus, this chapter demonstrates that these metaphors activate mental imagery (as previously assumed) but due to the constructional pattern of equations they also directly evoke the source of the metaphorical mapping. This posits a challenge for their understanding, which I argue to tap into a process of mental simulation along the lines of embodied semantics.
Working on it
Authors: Lavi Liron 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Following elections, processes of interpretation in the political discourse shape the meaning of elections. I draw from theories of democracy, time, and meaning to posit the concept of chrono-work, and suggest that creative construction of connections between past, present, and future horizons shape the meaning of an election, and that this process is critical for the democratic meaning of elections. With a qualitative analysis of media discourse in two case studies – the 1949 and the 1988 Israeli elections – I show that when these connections form a chronological narrative, an election obtains a democratic meaning, whereas when the narrative is non-chronological, an election’s democratic meaning is challenged. I discuss the implications for the role of creative time for the democratic role of elections.
Creative to whom, and on what basis?
Authors: Cienki Alan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This epilogue considers creativity from three different perspectives: that of the producer of the expression, of the person paying attention to the expression (the attender) in the same context, and of any attender from a different time and place than that in which the expression was produced. These perspectives are considered in face-to-face interaction and contrasted with mediated interaction. Whether an expression is perceived as creative or not from one of these perspectives depends on what is in that person’s scope of relevant behaviors. In addition, frame knowledge is considered in relation to viewing expressions as creative or not. Examples from the chapters in this volume illustrate how these various factors play out in relation to each other.
History of the group GCS/ASOLC/SOCS*
Authors: Vallverdu Francesc 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In 1973 a small group of scholars from the Catalan Countries joined to form the Catalan Group of Sociolinguistics (GCS). Their mission was to promote the planning of the Catalan language and sociolinguistic studies in this area. Their first public appearance was at the 8th Congress of Sociology (Toronto, 1974), where, thanks to L.V. Aracil – one of the promoters of GCS –, a session on the Catalan language was organised, the material from which was published in 1977 in the first issue of the annual review Treballs de Sociolingüística Catalana. In 1981, GCS had eighteen associates and by 2005, the group’s expansion led to its becoming the Association of Catalan Language Sociolinguists (ASOLC). Shortly after it became a subsidiary of the Institute of Catalan Studies (IEC) and in 2008 it adopted the name Catalan Society of Sociolinguistics (SOCS). Over the years this association has not only been dedicated to promoting and disseminating sociolinguistic research, but it has also been involved in numerous planning initiatives.
Research on language codification
Authors: Costa-Carreras Joan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In a previous work (Costa-Carreras 2016c
: “La planificació de corpus sobre el català: bibliografia classificada i comentada”) I reviewed the research on Catalan normative grammar systematically. The present paper aims at updating this information, but previously it focuses on the concept of research into normative grammar by analysing what objects, objectives, theoretical frameworks, methodologies, infrastructure and actors need to be involved. So in the first part the concept of research into normative grammar is analysed, and in the second part an update of the bibliography on research in Catalan normative grammar is provided.
Forty years of language policy in Catalonia (1980–2020)
Authors: Riera-Gil Elvira 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article provides a summary of language policies implemented in Catalonia since the recovery of self-government in 1979, drawing attention to their main successes and failures and to their current challenges. It distinguishes three stages regarding the governmental intervention in linguistic skills, practices and ideologies. First, a large stage (1980–2002) of initial impetus and development, characterised by a significant social consensus around the need of recovering Catalan as a democratic right and unequivocal sign of the collective identity after Franco dictatorship. Second, a stage (2003–2010) of adaptive growth, marked by a huge demo-linguistic impact of international immigration, political instability and more contestation of language policies. Third, a stage (2011–2020) of discreet work, impacted by a strong nation-building conflict between Catalonia and Spain, the rise of secessionism and its subsequent repression by the State.
Language law in the Catalan domain
Authors: Pons Parera Eva 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The scientific study of linguistic law in the Catalan field begins, during the decade of the eighties of the twentieth century, with the approval of the first laws of linguistic normalization of the Autonomous Communities of the Spanish State, at a time when the development of this area of study is still incipient at European and world level. Theoretical studies share common premises, when articulated around the notions of official languages and Catalan as the own language and their projection in the regulation of linguistic uses in the different sectors, and adopt a propositional approach, often critical to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court. As of the Judgement of 28 Of June of 2010, on the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of 2006, this constitutional jurisprudence imposes an even stricter limits to the regional legislator, that are at the same time reinterpreted restrictively by the ordinary tribunes, which supposes a clear brake to the development of these studies. The legal and doctrinal evolution in the territories located under Andorran, French and Italian jurisdiction responds to different patterns, such as the constitutionalization of Catalan as the official language of the Andorran State in the decade of the 1990s and the interpretation and deployment of constitutional notions of linguistic minority, in Italy, and regional language, in France, of application to the Catalan language in these territories.
Research on educational sociolinguistics in the Catalan-speaking area
Authors: Moreno Vila F. Xavier 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This article starts with a definition of the field and the identification of the main agents that play a social role in language-in-education policies, and then moves to review the evolution and the state of the art of educational sociolinguistics research in the Catalan-speaking territories. The article surveys the main theoretical and applied debates during the Republican period in the 1930’s, the controversies about language and education in the late period of Francoist dictatorship, the many challenges associated with the definition of a school language model in the early decades of the autonomy between the 1970’s and the 1980’s, the development of a plurality of research studies connected, among others, with sociological and ethnographic perspectives, and the growing role of linguistic and cultural diversity in the first two decades of the 21st century. The article ends with a critical balance of achievement and what-to-does in the field.
Language and social psychology research in Catalan sociolinguistics*
Authors: Comajoan-Colomé Llorenç , Strubell Miquel 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This chapter reviews research in language and social psychology (LSP) as an academic area and investigates to what extent global trends are followed in Catalan sociolinguistics. The chapter is organized into three main sections. The first section reviews the relation between social psychology and sociolinguistics and provides definitions of the field and lays out the evolution of prominent themes in the study of LSP. The second section provides a chronological account of the main research topics in social psychology in Catalan sociolinguistics and shows that in the 1990–2010 period LSP research regarding Catalan was mostly dominated by studies in linguistic attitudes. In a later period, LSP became much more prominent in Catalan sociolinguistics, with a focus on attitudes, linguistic ideology, and issues connected to demographics (e.g., immigration). The third section concludes that LSP research is at the crossroads of research and practice, what is universal and what is contextual, and that the social impact of research in LSP in the Catalan-speaking territories (e.g., research on language attitudes) has been rather low.
Linguistic anthropology
Authors: Argenter Joan A. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Since ethnography is born out of anthropological science, the article focuses on ethnographic sociolinguistic research. From a theoretical and methodological framework, the notions of social meaning, speech community and context are dealt with and so is the role of indexicality, particularly non-referential indexicality. Subsequently, several phenomena that have been studied by Catalan sociolinguists following this line of research are identified and significant contributions in each area are underlined: language choice, code-switching, youth linguistic practices, social inequality and the ethnography of school, intercultural communication, language shift, language attrition and language death, language ideologies and historical linguistic ethnography. Finally, some contributions by Catalan anthropologists studying South American or African indigenous communities are described.
Static-fluid black hole and wormhole in three-dimensions
Authors: Mazharimousavi S Habib 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We introduce the so-called static-fluid solutions in 2+1-dimensional spacetime. We assume the spacetime to be static and circular symmetric and for the perfect fluid we consider an equation of state (EoS) of the form

where r is the radial coordinate. Since, unlike the 3+1-dimensions, in 2+1-dimensions there is no vacuum solution other than the flat spacetime, our approach is not exactly the same as the 3+1-dimensions such that the static-fluid is accompanied by a cosmological constant. In addition to that, at first, we present a static solution supported by a static-fluid of constant energy-momentum tensor with a general EoS. Then, in the nonconstant energy-momentum tensor case, we introduce a large class of solutions. Depending on the values of the integration constants it implies black holes, wormholes, or cosmological solutions. Some of these solutions are closed in two-space which are considered for the first time in 2+1-dimensions. In both cases i.e. the constant and nonconstant energy-momentum tensor we imposed the satisfaction of conservation of the energy-momentum i.e.

Undergraduate students’ visualization of quantum mechanical eigenstates and the role of boundary conditions
Authors: Chhabra Mahima , Das Ritwick 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Quantum mechanics (QM) is one of the core subject areas in the undergraduate physics curriculum and it is usually taught within an abstract framework. Visualization of concepts, such as energy eigenfunctions and their spatial dependence probability density, helps students to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of QM. The role played by ‘boundary conditions’ in a given quantum system primarily governs energy eigenvalues as well as eigenfunctions. Therefore, visualization of the impact of boundary conditions on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are of immense significance in building a coherent cognitive structure. In this study, we attempt to explore the challenges faced by undergraduate students in visualizing the eigenfunctions when the potential distribution is well defined. The research was carried out within a qualitative framework, which involved interaction with a group of undergraduate students and critical analysis of the responses from a constructivist viewpoint. The outcomes pointed towards prevalent alternate conceptions in the understanding of eigenfunctions. Specifically, the results showed the difficulties students face in associating eigenfunctions with prescribed boundary conditions for a potential distribution. The qualitative method allows us to ascertain the exact bottleneck which obstructs the creation of a coherent model and, subsequently, provides a route to address such issues.
Formation of silver wires embedded in hydrogels using femtosecond laser ablation and electroplating for strain sensing
Authors: Zhao Pingping , Hu Jian , Chen Tao , Si Jinhai , Wu Jingping , Zhang Yu , Li Kaidi , Hou Xun 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The formation process of conductive silver wires embedded in hydrogels using femtosecond laser ablation and electroplating was investigated. Implanted needle electrode was used as the cathode instead of a plate cathode in the previous report to perform electroplating. This improvement made reduced silver microstructures much easier to grow into the femtosecond-laser-ablated microchannels in the hydrogels, forming silver wires up to 20 mm long, one order of magnitude larger than the reported results. It also makes the growth process of the reduced microstructures observable. Results show that the growth speed increased with the increase of current and the decrease of femtosecond laser power and scanning speed. Besides, smooth and dense silver wires were formed at the optimal condition of a current of 5 mA, femtosecond laser power of 3 mW, and scanning speed of 10 μm s−1. Its resistivity was as low as ∼2.84 × 10−7 Ω m, smaller than that of rough silver wires. Moreover, the strain sensing performance of the formed silver wires embedded in the hydrogel was studied, which showed good repeatability (7% to 13% strain) and high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 14). It may open up a facile scalable technique for the design and fabrication of the metal-patterned component embedded in hydrogel for flexible and wearable electronics.
Chemical functionalization of SnAs monolayer: a first-principles study of SnAsX (X = Cl, Br, and I) monolayers
Authors: Vi Vo T T , Nguyen Cuong Q , Hoi Bui D , Phuc Huynh V , Nguyen Chuong V , Hieu Nguyen N 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Chemical functionalization is one of the effective methods to tune the electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures. In this paper, we study the structural, electronic properties, and carrier mobilities of 2D SnAs monolayer functionalized by chlorine, bromine, and iodine, namely SnAsX (X = Cl, Br, and I), by means of density functional theory. The obtained results show that the 2D SnAsX are energetically, dynamically, and mechanically stable. While the 2D pristine SnAs monolayer exhibits metallic characteristics, SnAsX monolayers are direct semiconductors with direct band gaps. The influence of spin–orbit coupling on the electronic characteristics of SnAsX is significant, especially in the case of SnAsI monolayer. The direct–indirect gap transitions are found in all three SnAsX monolayers when the biaxial strain is applied. Meanwhile, the effects of external electric fields on the electronic characteristics of SnAsX are insignificant. Our calculated results indicate that SnAsX monolayers have very high electron mobility and their transport characteristics are directionally isotropic along the investigated transport directions.
