Dear all,
Are "cultural metarepresentations" (RT) and "frames" (Lakoff,
Fillmore) the same thing?
Mmm. Interesting. I checked 'frame' with the OED, and there this addition
(below) to the new edition, which relates it to a 'metanarrative'
(Incidentally, no apparent recognition so far in the OED to 'frame' as used by Lakoff or
Fillmore). It doesn't seem to me that 'frame' _should_ involves a 'meta-'
element, a 'cultural _meta_-representation' by definition does?, but then cf.

From the OED
'frame'. A section of narrative which _encloses_ or introduces the main
narrative (or narratives) of a text, esp. one which comments upon or sets in
context the primary narrative. Cf. frame story, sense 16, METANARRATIVE n.

‘So,’ he said. ‘What's your narrative frame?’ ‘My what?’ I said. ‘Your
frame story.’.. ‘You don't have one, do you.’ ‘No,’ I said, shame-faced. ‘I
was just going to tell it, straightforwardly, you see.’
