DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Marjan Afshari Rad. \n\nMetaphor analysis often pri
 oritizes identifying the source domain in a given text. However\, with rel
 igious texts\, in many cases\, the source domain is already apparent\; the
  key challenge lies in understanding how words associated with it function
  within the text. Simply recognizing metaphorical expressions with a known
  source domain is insufficient. A more rigorous approach requires analyzin
 g how words related to a semantic domain behave within the text and how th
 ey interact with other sentence components.\nFrame semantics offers a syst
 ematic method for addressing this challenge. This presentation will introd
 uce frame semantics as a methodological tool and discuss FrameNet\, an ana
 lytical platform that aims to 'build a lexical database of English that is
  both human- and machine-readable\, based on annotating examples of how wo
 rds are used in actual texts.'\nFrameNet’s semantic frames help identify
  how words contribute to meaning construction by situating them within a s
 tructured network of relationships. This allows a more nuanced understandi
 ng of how metaphorical expressions operate within a given textual framewor
 k.\nBy applying these methods\, we can develop a more refined understandin
 g of metaphorical language in religious discourse. This talk will outline 
 the theoretical and practical implications of this approach and its advant
 ages over conventional metaphor analysis.\n\n
