Blending Viewpoint of Teaching “Teaching as Mountaineering”: A Cognitive Stylistic Approach
Journal: Journal of Higher Education Research DOI: 10.32629/jher.v1i4.229
Abstract
This paper aims at a cognitive stylistic approach to teaching “Teaching as Mountaineering”, an essay by Nancy K, Hill. Analogies are interpreted by conceptual blending theory, a cognitive stylistic approach. This theory is to work out the process of how meanings are constructed. In this manner, this tentative attempt at non-literary works will extend to more explorations of non-literary works through cognitive stylistic approach.
