    Area of Science:

    • Visual communication
    • Semiotics
    • Art theory

    Background:

    • Pictures can be interpreted literally or metaphorically.
    • Metaphoric pictures involve intentional, recognizable deviations from standard visual representation.
    • Understanding pictorial metaphors is crucial for visual semiotics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To categorize types of metaphoric pictures.
    • To explore the relationship between verbal and pictorial metaphors.
    • To analyze the mechanisms behind sophisticated pictorial metaphors.

    Main Methods:

    • Categorization of metaphoric picture types.
    • Comparative analysis of verbal and pictorial metaphor structures.
    • Examination of object features and physical parameters (e.g., scale) in metaphor interpretation.

  • Analysis of juxtapositions and indirect references in complex pictorial metaphors.

    • Main Results:

    • Metaphoric pictures are classified into types corresponding to major verbal metaphor groups, plus a category of pictorial runes.
    • The interpretation of pictorial metaphors often relies on specific object attributes and physical properties like scale.
    • Sophisticated pictorial metaphors require analysis of object juxtapositions and indirect references.

    Conclusions:

    • Pictorial metaphors share structural similarities with verbal metaphors.
    • Visual interpretation involves recognizing intentional deviations from standard depiction.
    • Further analysis is needed for complex visual metaphors involving indirect reference.
