The first version for collection of metaphoric schemes (90-met-c1)

List of metaphoric schemes with the references to appropriate Web-pages.
The list is structured by abstract "metagroups" of metaphoric schemes. The list contains as metaphoric schemes described in given version of MET, as not yet described.

A d d i t i o n a l   t e x t s :

The System of Terms for the project (95-met-term)
(only on Russian)

The author has entered significant quantity of concepts in research, result of which the creation Knowledge base MET is, and in the appropriate main scientific report. These concepts make a certain system. Partially the system is reflected in a kind of the list of concepts, in the single work material (95-tsm).
Size: 7 Kbytes.

Collection of Examples for the Knowledge base MET (95-met-ex)
(only on Russian)

In each description of any metaphoric scheme the significant quantity of base concepts (about base concepts see [Lakoff 87] or chapter 1 of the main scientific report ) is used for examples. These examples, also, as well as the new entered concepts, will form the system. The system of examples is described in a single hypertext file "Collection of Examples for the Knowledge base MET".
Size: 9 Kbytes.

Notation (97-met-not)

The notation used by description of metaphoric schemes and by reference to various entities of the Knowledge Base MET.

"Example-scenario of using Knowledge Base MET for research" (97-mex)

The author shows how we can to use the Knowledge base MET for scientific research. The theme "Circle of attention" is got for example, it is appeared 14 points of analyze, one that point is analyzed by Knowledge base MET. It is appeared 15 new points of analyze more as result.
