Linguistics in Fashion: Explaining Concepts with Visual Metaphors
[EN] This empirical project, a study of the effect of metaphors and games on the learning process, is related
to my research on fashion terminology but focuses on student-professor or student-computer interactions. The
project emphasises similarities between fashion and language systems and explores the effect of comparisons
between grammar and fashion, as well as associated play activities, on the learning process. This article gives a
few examples of visual metaphors used for teaching different aspects of linguistics and explains how they work
to facilitate the ––learning process and to capture students’ attention. Applied to linguistics, these empirical
findings will hopefully provide inspiring examples and serve as models for exploring visual metaphors in the
teaching of other disciplines.Sonina, S. (2015). Linguistics in Fashion: Explaining Concepts with Visual Metaphors. En 1ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGHER EDUCATION ADVANCES (HEAD' 15). Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València. 135-141. https://doi.org/10.4995/HEAd15.2015.450OCS13514
