Metafore en rame

Abstract

In this article it is shown by an analysis of "Kaapse skeepswerf" (Cape shipyard) by D.J. Opperman that current theory about metaphor cannot fully account for the contexts of utterances. A top-down approach using the concept frame from artificial intelligence is proposed instead of the current bottom-up approach. The A-frame analysis of Kilpatrick is discussed and evaluated by means of an analysis of the poem "Sweet" (Hovering) by T.T. Cloete.

Opsomming
In hierdie artikel word die onvermoe van die gangbare metafoorteorie om kontekste van uitings te verdiskonteer, uitgewys aan die hand van "Kaapse skeepswerf" van D.J. Opper­man. In plaas van die gangbare top-down-benadering word 'n bottom-up-benadering voorgestel wat die konsep raam uit die kunsmatige intelligensie benut. Die sg. A-raamteo­rie van Kilpatrick word verduidelik en geevalueer deur dit toe te pas op die gediggie "sweef" van T.T. Cloete.
