Analysis of Visual Metaphor

抄録

Visual things are one of the most fundamental communication media that also include language, and when it comes to their verbal functions, metaphor is one of the vital vehicles to enrich their meaning. To interpret and check out metaphor by visual language, it's needed to look into that visual language's organic relationship with surrounding environments. The purpose of this study was to delve into how to analyze visual metaphor by structurizing a way of interpreting visual language by applying Peirce's semiotcs. This attempt is expected to make a big contribution to not only interpreting visual language but creating new visual language.
