Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of how the theories of metaphor from philosophy of language, cognitive linguistics and semiotics can contribute to the studies of the interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge in science. The paper develops a synthetic approach according to which metaphors are analyzed as a conceptual interactions, situated in and complemented by the context of communication. The analysis itself includes a consideration of the interactive theory of metaphor (M. Black), cognitive theories of metaphor (E. McCormack and G. Lakoff), the theory of conceptual integration (M. Turner and J. Fauconnier), the theory of multidimensional metaphor G. Steen, semiotic theories of metaphor (Yu. Lotman and Ch. Peirce) in their modern interpretation. Based on theories of conceptual integration (mixing), communicative and modeling properties of metaphors, the author outlines approaches to conceptual modeling of metaphorical transfer in an interdisciplinary transfer. Its key points are: the formation of a common communication space for interdisciplinary transfer; projections of meanings (knowledge) from conceptual spaces included in communication disciplines into some new semantic space; the formation in this space of a conceptual blend (an unusual composition of meanings) that satisfies certain conditions and contains certain components; activation of the emergent structure of cognitive creative modeling; education on the basis of her efforts of a new semantic meaning (new knowledge). The proposed conceptual model of metaphorical transfer can serve as the basis for its development in the context of studies of interdisciplinary integration.
