Our conceptual networks are intricately structured by analogical and metaphorical mappings, which play a key role in the synchronic construction of meaning and in its diachronic evolution. Parts of such mappings are so entrenched in everyday thought and language that we do not consciously notice them; other parts strike us as novel and creative. The term ...

... interesting. Maybe more a = <> b = <> c? SEE: Rosetta Stone The miracle I was refering to is the brain's potential ability to *automatically* apply diachronic (across time) rules allowing you to understand an intermediary language like Italian if you know Latin and Spanish. Perhaps a better analogy would be understanding ancient Italian if you know Latin and Modern Italian....
