Oldies But Kinda Goodies

I'm going to have only sporadic computer access for the next several days, so I won't have time to do much new posting. So I'm going to just copy and paste some of the more popular posts from the old blog. They are four posts on neuroaesthetics, particularly Ramachandran's 10 principles of art. Also, because we were talking about metaphor recently, I thought people might be interested in the posts I wrote way back when on theories of metaphor that are both more mainstream and better tested than anything cognitive linguistics has to offer. So I'll repost all of those as well. The first neuroaesthetics posts will come later today.
