content | sioc:content | The field of physics, which examines electron spin resonance in crystals for example, also works with metaphors; cf. Schwoerer and Wolf (2005, 160). For a metaphorical understanding of the genetic code see Barbieri (2007b, 2004). However, this approach bears the danger of obscuring the view that the genetic code should not only be interpreted as a metaphor, but that it itself operates through metaphors, too. |
