Thesis (Ph. D.)--Columbia college, 1893.

This dissertation focuses on Spanish similes with adjective (like feliz como una perdiz) and its equivalents in Czech. First the theoretical frame is sketched: a summary of the evolution and of the actual situation of the investigation in the field of fraseology; a description of the corpora which were used as a source of the data; a characterization of the basic terms connected with the topic; a description of the function of phrasemes and simies in the process of communication; and a summary of some basic thoughts from cognitive linguistics. Then a semantic and contrastive analysis of the simies with selected adjectives (feliz, alegre, triste, tranquilo, furioso) comes. Finally we point out what each comparatum can tell about the meaning of the adjective, what we can tell about the comparata and its selection, and what can be said about the grade of stabilization of the examined simies. Then a tip follows: what more could be explored in this area and that there could be a possibility to use the results of such research for instance while creating a didactic material.

Studien kartlägger vanliga adjektivliknelser i svenska bloggtexter ur två aspekter, vilka adjektiv och substantiv som förekommer tillsammans i konstruktionen ADJEKTIV som en/ett SUBSTANTIV samt deras grad av konventionalisering. Tidigare forskning visar att liknelser är svårdefinierade, vilket tas upp i bakgrunden. Materialet är hämtat från fem korpusar med svensk bloggtext. Resultaten visar att de vanligaste adjektivliknelserna föredrar att knyta an till ett eller några substantiv. Däremot finns det visst utrymme för produktivitet. Studien är en preliminär kartläggning över hur pass konventionaliserade liknelserna är. Möjliga källor för uppkomst av liknelserna diskuteras i diskussionen. Resultaten belyser även att det finns en ytterligare dimension i definitionen av liknelser utöver kontinuumet mellan bokstavlighet och figurativitet, nämligen en distinktion mellan exaktare måttangivelse och figurativitet.

This diploma thesis focuses on teaching phrasemes in Czech language lessons in elementary schools especially in 7th grade. The thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical one and research. The main goal of the theoretical part is to present the basic overview of phraseology as a linguistic discipline and didactic games as activating methods of education. The empirical part describes the creation and usage of didactical tools for teaching phrasemes and also summarizes the results of a survey.

Il faut reprendre à nouveaux frais la question de la métaphore, (re)définir les contours de la figure d'analogie, pour la sortir de la confusion où l'ont jetée la coupure instituée avec la comparaison et, plus largement, sa théorisation comme substitution d'un mot à un autre, mais aussi pour mettre à l'épreuve la notion de métaphore au cinéma. Il s'agit donc de questionner l'unité du « processus métaphorique », de trouver le bon niveau permettant de rendre compte de ses pouvoirs, de sa dynamique, et pour cela de refuser l'approche mutilante, sans cesse renaissante, de la rhétorique traditionnelle aussi bien que celles qui diluent sa richesse dans les mécanismes de l'inconscient ou les processus interprétatifs des seuls lecteurs ou spectateurs. La métaphore fait alors apparaître des traits qui indiquent à quel point il est légitime de discerner des formes iconiques à côté des formes linguistiques : elle peut notamment être comprise comme un montage d'expériences, de situations éprouvées, au moins fictivement. Pour arriver à cette conception de la métaphore comme dialogue entre séries d'objets de pensée, comme prédication paradoxale, il paraît nécessaire de renverser l'approche traditionnelle qui consiste à faire de la métaphore conventionnelle le modèle de la théorie, et de la métaphore vive un cas particulier, mais aussi d'interroger les liens entre métaphore, symbole et concept et de souligner comment, depuis Aristote, le modèle proportionnel, authentiquement analogique, est systématiquement écrasé par le modèle sémiotique. Ainsi rénovée, cette conception de la métaphore apparaît fructueuse pour l'analyse des œuvres, comme La Ligne Générale d'Eisenstein. / The question of the metaphor has to be analysed anew, the outlines of the figure of analogy (re)defined to escape the confusion arising from its separation from the simile and, more largely, its definition as a substitution of one word by the other, but also to test the notion of metaphor in the context of cinema. Therefore the unity of the “metaphoric process” has to be questioned, to find the right level permitting a recounting of its powers, of its dynamic, and doing so refusing the mutilating, always recurring approach of the traditional rhetoric, as well as those that dissolve its richness in the mechanisms of the unconscious or in the interpretative processes of solely the readers or viewers. The metaphor then lets traits appear that indicate to what extent it is legitimate to discern iconic forms along with linguistic forms : for example, it can be understood as an editing, a joining of experiences, of felt situations, at least in a fictional way. To reach this conception of the metaphor as a dialogue between two series of objects of thoughts, as the predication of a paradox, it appears necessary to overturn the traditional approach which consists in setting the conventional metaphor as the model of the theory and the live metaphor as the particular case, but also to think about the links between metaphor, symbol and concept, and to underline how, since Aristotle, the proportional model, the authentic analogical one, is systematically crushed by the semiotic model. Thus renewed, this conception of the metaphor seems fruitful for the analysis of works, for instance The General Line by Eisenstein.
