Synopsis

One of the central concepts when thinking about what it means to understand a language, literature, and culture, and why in different social or cultural environments we cannot always interpret what has been said or express our thoughts merely by knowing words and sentence patterns, is metaphor, which is also the focal point of scholarly reflection of the 60th Seminar of Slovene Language, Literature, and Culture. Namely, metaphor is a concept that combines three building blocks of a message: an expression, or the specific use of language; the figurative and connotative meanings attributed to that expression; and the contextual framework in which the expression is used to verbalize and make sense of the chosen meaning.
