EVALUATION OF METAPHOR IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE VU (MIPVU) BY THE CRITERIA OF A TRULY SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Due to the growing scholarly interest in metaphor in language, discourse, and thought within cognitive linguistics, metaphor identification is now the center of attention. A lot of methods have been developed to identify metaphors with different degrees of accuracy. The algorithms are based on different theoretical premises; their developers pursue various goals, for example, fully automated computer metaphor search. In order to choose the most reliable method for a given study, it is necessary to evaluate the existing methods by a number of specifically designed criteria. This article is aimed at evaluating Metaphor Identification Procedure VU (MIPVU) by nine criteria that in Russian scientific tradition are considered to be useful for determining whether a method is truly scientific. Before the evaluation is given, the essence of MIPVU (including all steps) is described and a context is analyzed with the help of the procedure, so this paper can also be used for initial familiarization with the procedure

PERM SCHOOL OF METAPHOR

The article deals with the history and principles of creation of metaphor theory within the framework of derivatology at Perm linguistic school. The sources and premises for the school of metaphor formation are revealed; the main stages of the school development are described. The main theses and results are discussed. The main lines of research and prospects are analyzed, including such areas as metaphorical term creation, cognitive metaphor, metaphor in discourse, multimodal metaphor, metaphor competence. It is noted that search for new aspects of studying metaphor (e.g. multimodal and gestural theories) is typical of Perm school of metaphor. Within the school much attention is given to applied studies, to research into cross-cultural specificity of metaphor and to the dynamics of metaforization in various institutional types of discourse. One of the currently important research areas is formation of metaphorical competence as the ability to identify metaphors in discourse, interpret them and use in speech

FORMATION OF THE METAPHORICAL COMPETENCE

The article deals with the metaphorical competence as one of the main issues of modern linguodidactics, the subject being regarded from the communicative and cognitive perspectives. The authors consider the background of the formation of the metaphorical competence concept and modern views on this concept. The research is based on the assumption that human cognition is quite metaphorical. Taking this into consideration, the authors believe that training in professional activity should be conducted by means of the metaphorical competence, which is defined as a universal ability to provide integrity of speech communication and speech activity. The concept of the metaphorical competence is determined by professional activity, which is linked with the increasing dependence of cognition on a person’s activity and their value system and ambitions. The authors build the structure of the metaphorical competence, describe its content and differentiate it from other types of competences. It has been shown that the metaphorical competence can be viewed as a complex system of levels, which imply application of various methods
