How we communicate shapes how we think. This post introduces a conceptual data model that maps two distinct communication styles—linguistic and metaphorical—to their respective cognitive domains. By visualizing this relationship, we highlight how metaphors uniquely stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain.
| Entity | Description |
|---|---|
| Language-Based Communication | A subtype of Communication Method that relies on structured verbal or written language. |
| Metaphorical Communication | A subtype of Communication Method that conveys meaning through figurative or symbolic expressions. |
| Brain Hemisphere | Represents the cognitive domain involved in processing different types of communication. |
| Left Brain | A subtype of Brain Hemisphere associated with logical, analytical, and language-based processing. |
| Right Brain | A subtype of Brain Hemisphere associated with intuitive, creative, and metaphorical thinking. |
By modeling the link between metaphor and cognition, we gain insight into how abstract expression enriches human understanding. Metaphors do more than decorate language—they awaken the intuitive mind.
