My personal style guide is to copy Erlang: double quotes for text, single quotes for programmatic strings (atoms/symbols). The single quote is slightly more convenient to type on a qwerty keyboard, but text regularly contains single quotes (apostrophes). It also provides a semantic visual shortcut.

I like the concept of semantic visual shortcut, also semantic compression (developed here)

this could be an interesting theory about the reading process: [https://www.fabula.org/actualites/luigi-pareyson-esthetique-theorie-de-la-formativite_21236.php]

meeting with advisors

questions:

• categories of people are relevant? should i look into academic as well? i’m afraid there might not be so much information/sources
• the difference between syntactical and semantic metaphors?
• would you like to see the corpus? how should i display/save it?
• are metaphors contributing to the research project? should i stick to the functional part of aesthetics.

the intent overall is to see to what extent there is an overlap between each
