Od neurona do metafore (i natrag): Neuralna teorija metafore u okviru neuralne teorije jezika i mišljenja
From Neuron to Metaphor (and backwards): Neural Theory of Metaphor within Neural Theory of Language

Summary/Abstract: The paper first gives an overview of theories and research directions that have influenced the formation of the neural theory of language and thought: objectivism, cognitivism, functionalism (strong AI vs. embodied AI), categorization, embodied cognition, mirror neurons discovery, Hebbian learning, Spike–Time–Dependent Plasticity. Then, an overview of the key theoretical assumptions and concepts of neural theory of language and thought is provided: the relationship between neural theory of language and cognitive linguistics, J. Feldman’s simulation semantics, types of neural networks, and Embodied Construction Grammar. Finally, attention is directed to metaphor and metaphorical thought in the context of this theory by providing a brief overview of the basic assumptions of neural theory of metaphor.
