Martin Schulz, 28 Mar 2024}, author = {Goodman,Nelson}, subject = {Models}, note = {IV 164f Models/Goodman: in many cases, a model is a copy or an individual case for which it is a model (e.g. a model citizen). In other cases, the roles are reversed: what the model denotes that has as an individual case, for which it is model. A mathematical model is a formula that applies to the process. Ship model, architecture model, wooden model of a car: none is a description in the normal or the mathematical sense of the language. Unlike samples these models are denotative. >Denotation, >Description. IV 165 Models of this type are in fact diagrams. Or: diagrams are flat and static models. A molecular model of sticks and table tennis balls is digital. A working model of a windmill can be analog. IV 165 E.g. the model of a house can also be a denotative model of houses under development including itself, and it exemplifies itself as a label. It differs from the miniature model as "monosyllabic" differs from "polysyllabic". >Exemplification. IV 165 Models are not, as it is often assumed, necessarily metaphorical. That depends on how it is steered by a prior use. >Metaphors.}, note = { G IV N. Goodman Catherine Z.
