The theory wars inside my head is finally over. Or so it seems.
I wanted to blog about the endless journal articles (82 and counting), mind-bending what-on-earth discussions, and the strange swirling feeling of uncertainty in the pit of my stomach but.. nah.
So I guess my study will use the linguistic theory of metaphorical concepts by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980, 1999) or the theory of metaphor using the semiotic approach.
And oh, i really wanted to use the critical approach too! So maybe that'll be the "theory of metaphor using the semiotic and critical approach." But for now I'll stick with semiotics. Since that will answer my problem of "how science concepts are represented in metaphors within stories". Not really very sure yet but it's more or less it.
