Articulator Metaphors: GURĂ – MOUTH

Summary/Abstract: The present state of research in field analysis calls for approaches to narrower paradigms or subfields, with a view to integrating them to the larger linguistic action field. This is exactly what we have done: specified the paradigms, indicated where further feature specification is necessary, so that we should be able to account for the shapes and shades of our experience. Differences in style (familiar, pejorative, slangy, archaic, etc.) and in rhetorical effect will allow for cross linguistic references in a shared conceptual space, even if the languages may not have perfectly matching lexicalized counterparts. We therefore think that, after scanning semantic configurations and selection restrictions, stylistic equivalence, which is a matter of degree rather than of meaning, would do the job as a translation technique.
