ERIN: I never caught that, that does sound good.

>Notice that Lakoff and Johnson don't give examples of how this Dance
metaphor would manifest itself linguistically (they provide plenty for the
War metaphor... but only the suggestion of the Dance metaphor).
ERIN: Yes I did notice that I just took it as a reflection of culture. I was
really interested in cultural differences of metaphors of time and money, I
wish they looked at that.
RICK: I think
their 'dance argument' is a nice metaphor for difference between dialectic
and rhetoric. Think of Zeno, "Rhetoric is an open hand, Dialectic is closed
fist."
ERIN: Yes it does sound good.
