| contents | Buildings that move: Motion metaphors in architectural reviews Rosario Caballero Lengua y Literatura form is motion image metaphor Motion metaphors embodied architecture In this paper, I explore the ways in which built space is described by means of motion metaphors in one of the prototypical genres of architectural communication, namely, the architectural review. I describe motion metaphors as meeting two main needs. In the first place, buildings described as “hunkering down”, “easing into”, or “heaving up” their sites instantiate visual or image metaphors whereby particular layouts or appearances (the metaphorical targets) are seen as reminiscent of the kind of movement encapsulated in the verbs (the metaphorical sources). Motion metaphors also help reviewers organize their commentary in the review genre, which is often done as if it were a virtual tour inside the building at issue. In turn, this contributes to recreating in textual form how people “feel” buildings while interacting with and inside them, i.e. a more holistic experience. This use of motion metaphors is congruent with contemporary architects’ and reviewers’ enactive – embodied – approach to architectural space. 2017 artículo científico 1139-7241 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=287053467005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2870 Ibérica, Revista de la Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos application/pdf Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos Ibérica, Revista de la Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos (España) Num.34 |
