DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Marjan Afshari Rad.\n\nMetaphor analysis often prio
 ritizes identifying the source domain in a given text. However\, with reli
 gious 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 analyzing
  how words related to a semantic domain behave within the text and how the
 y interact with other sentence components.\nFrame semantics offers a syste
 matic method for addressing this challenge. This presentation will introdu
 ce frame semantics as a methodological tool and discuss FrameNet\, an anal
 ytical platform that aims to 'build a lexical database of English that is 
 both human- and machine-readable\, based on annotating examples of how wor
 ds are used in actual texts.'\nFrameNet’s semantic frames help identify 
 how words contribute to meaning construction by situating them within a st
 ructured network of relationships. This allows a more nuanced understandin
 g of how metaphorical expressions operate within a given textual framework
 .\nBy applying these methods\, we can develop a more refined understanding
  of metaphorical language in religious discourse. This talk will outline t
 he theoretical and practical implications of this approach and its advanta
 ges over conventional metaphor analysis.
