7 Know hope: Metaphor, optimal innovation and pleasure

1 Introduction: Processing models

What are the processes involved in language comprehension? Do literal and nonliteral instances of language use require different interpretation mechanisms or do they follow the same processing routes? To illustrate the question, consider the following example:

(1) On Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, Yinnon Hiller, aged 20 and Amir Malenky, aged 18, will appear before the Israeli High Court of Justice ... Both ask to be released from military service on the grounds of their pacifist beliefs ... Both conscientious objectors ask to perform alternative civilian service instead of military service, but the Israeli army so far refused to allow them this option.

New Profile – Movement for the Civil-ization of Israeli Society supports Yinnon Hiller and Amir Malenky in their struggle. We believe that the State of Israel should recognize that an individual can participate in society in ways other than bearing arms. http://www.gush-shalom.org/archives/forum_eng.html (19.2.02)
