Multimodal Construction of Dance Metaphors Based on Conceptual Cognition
Integrating and constructing a multimodal system of dance metaphors based on rhetorical concepts is an emerging domain in interdisciplinary dance research.Within a metaphor matrix comprising diverse symbolic resources and sensory modalities,dance art employs its unique expressive forms to engage with a wide array of phenomena and conceptual categories.Through progressive and parallel interactions between source and target domains,dance utilizes"image extraction"and"form bestowal"to activate cognitive blending for artistic representation.This process unfolds within a relational field shaped by linguistic con-text,situational context,and cultural context,enabling the convergence of creation and interpretation under the premise of subjective coherence.Consequently,the works achieve an aesthetic character marked by mul-tilayered nuances,subtle elegance,and profound suggestiveness.
