| Abstract | What kinds of similarities and differences must relate terms and analogues for a metaphor to be effective? In this paper we propose an answer, one which involves the basic ontology of terms and analogues. In a questionnaire study, metaphors from different areas of science were presented to 71 secondary school students and to 26 primary school teachers asking for a decision and a written response about whether it is a 'good' metaphor or not. Then, for each term and analogue, there is a list of questions intended to tap perceptions of six fundamental dimensions. The results show some degree of agreement between the two groups on judgements of metaphors. They also show that it is possible to give a general account of how metaphors for scientific ideas work, independent of the particular features of the metaphor. A discussion of how people's specific knowledge is important in influencing how they assimilate a metaphor to their understanding is also presented. (Autorenreferat). |
