Okay, I dig. I think what you're saying is that isomorphicism happens among two or more sets of the same or similar logical typing, based on prepositional structure among the nouns and verbs. I agree that seems entirely plausible in terms of language. I would extend that there are other forms of isomorphicism, in sensory modes, which find their way into language differently, when I have a "knot" or "butterflies" in my stomach, if we say someone is "pretty as a picture," or that a particular series of musical notes was like a "cry." Tire tracks in the snow yesterday brought to mind images of freshly cut wheat lying in curved strands. Then there's Moby Dick, and all of the possible sensory and linguistic analogies that can be associated that that. It would be a great project to explore the relationships between sensory and language-generated isomorphicism, don't you think? best, JS |
