Theoretical framework, goals and methods

QUESTIONS
which we will (try to) answer
FROM NEURONS TO LANGUAGE. HOW?

How a database of figurative language can help accomplish goals of artificial intelligence and computational creativity? Which experiences are the systems of the Croatian language based on? Which metaphor systems do we share with other languages, and which are specific to the Croatian language? How can complex metaphor systems be divided into simpler metaphors, primary metaphors, semantic frames, image schemata and cognitive primitives?
