Rocks are human beings: researching the humanizing metaphor in earth science scientific texts

This paper describes a corpus-based analysis of the humanizing metaphor and supports that constitutive metaphor in science and technology may be highly metaphorical and active. The study, grounded in Lakoff’s Theory of Metaphor and in Langacker’s relational networks, consists of two phases: firstly, Earth Science metaphorical terms were extracted from databases and dictionaries and, then, contextualized by means of the “Wordsmith” tool in a digitalized corpus created to establish their productivity. Secondly, the terms were classified to disclose the main conceptual metaphors underlying them; then, the mappings and the relational networks of the metaphor were described. Results confirm the systematicity and productivity of the metaphor in this field, show evidence that metaphoricity of scientific terms is gradable, and support that Earth Science metaphors are not only created in terms of their concrete salient properties and attributes, but also on abstract human anthropocentric projections.

Chemical composition and solubility of ocean phosphatized rocks in seawater

In order to elucidate possibility of limestone phosphatization during contact with seawater two sets of experiments were carried out: that of solubility of natural phosphates in seawater and that of deposition of phosphorus onto calcareous phase. Concentration of phosphorus in seawater used for solubility experiments varied from 39 to 338 µ/l, temperature was 5.5-17.5°C and pH 7.8-7.9. The lowest solubility was characteristic of ancient crystallized samples. The deposition experiments showed that in case when concentration of dissolved phosphate in seawater reaches 3 mg/l it might be sorbed on solid CaCO3 phase without forming its own mineral. The latter is able to form rapidly but only if magnesium is not present in solution. In magnesium-free water calcium phosphates precipitate when concentration of dissolved phosphorus is higher than 0.9-1.2 mg/l. These results show that phosphatization of limestones in marine environment takes place during their contact with pore water but not with marine bottom water.
