New favourite game:
Taking notice of the use of any dead metaphors. I was sitting at my desk, trying to think of a few,
"he was high as a kite"
"hitting rock bottom"
"falling in love"
"rising star"
"computer mouse"
Dead metaphors are a semantic shift in language, and I am oddly enjoying exploring them! It's amazing how unnoticed they pass, and how I never really took the time to understand them, "world wide web" is good one. Hm... now to make the connection between these amusing dead metaphors and how Davidson uses them to support his argument.
Confidence level for tutorial presentation tomorrow: 60%
Lots of reading and revising and writing left to do. Must make up handout sheet as well. Mike will be my test subject tonight as I go through my practice run for tomorrow. Can't wait till this is done... have been dreading it since day one!
