A Naturalistic Exploration of Forms and Functions of Analogizing (2009, background): “As this discussion suggests, many bold claims serve as the bedrock of the literature (eg, Bowdle & Gentner, 2005 ; Holyoak, 2008a , b ; Markman & Gentner, 2000 ).”
Productive figurative communication: Conventional metaphors facilitate the comprehension of related novel metaphors (2008, methodology): “Because our theory of communicative facilitation is neutral with respect to the mechanism by which related metaphors facilitate each other, we accept that priming could play an important role in this process, but emphasize that the functional outcome of such priming probably corresponds closely to s”
The Paradox of Metaphor: Why We Need a Three-Dimensional Model of Metaphor (2008, background): “This structural property of these deliberate metaphors may be seen as another manifestation of the grammatical concordance hypothesis forwarded by Bowdle and Gentner (2005), who claim that particular linguistic structures expressing underlying cross-domain mappings facilitate or elicit specific proc”
What is the explanatory value of a conceptual metaphor (2007, background): “As Bowdle and Gentner (2005) have suggested, the processes used to understand any particular metaphoric expression will change as a function of its conventionality.”
The Metaphorical Representation of Affect (2005, background): “Indeed, recent research has shown that the manner in which a metaphor is processed depends on its conventiality (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005).”
Understanding the Relationship between Attribute-Based and Metaphor-Based Dehumanization (2009, background): “Previous cognitive psychology research has demonstrated two processes at work in laypeople’s use of metaphors (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005; Gentner & Kurtz, 2005; Gentner & Markman, 1997; Markman & Gentner, 1993).”
Descriptions of Pain, Metaphor, and Embodied Simulation (2010, background): “within an abstract category evoked by the conventionalized metaphorical meaning of the expressions that is used metaphorically (Gentner and Bowdle 2001, 2008; Bowdle and Gentner 2005).”
Analogical Learning and Reasoning (2013, background): “These kinds of metaphoric systems chiefly convey relational commonalities, and there is evidence that they are processed as conventionalized structure mappings (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005).”
Nonintentional analogical inference in text comprehension (2007, background): “Further evaluation verified C650 – Unintentional Inference Day 43 her intuitions, and she knew that she needed to inform her fellow scientists of this discovery immediately so that appropriate action could be taken.”
Complementary perspectives on metaphor: Cognitive linguistics and relevance theory. (2008, background): “This issue is a concern for many other psychological theories of metaphor that are not conducted within either the cognitive linguistic or relevance theory frameworks (e.g., Bowdle and Gentner, 2005; Glucksberg, 2001).”
Abstract concepts: sensory-motor grounding, metaphors, and beyond (2011, background): “Rather, metaphors may be understood as categorizations (Glucksberg & Keysar, 1990) or may evolve from explicit analogies when they are novel to categorizations or polysemies (i.e., words that havemultiple relatedmeanings) when they have become conventional (Bowdle & Gentner, 2005).”
