metafooris

Metafooris is a term that combines "meta" and "foris," where "meta" refers to something that is about something else, and "foris" is derived from the Greek word "phorēs," meaning "carrying" or "bearing." Therefore, metafooris can be understood as something that carries or bears about something else. This concept is often used in various fields such as literature, philosophy, and linguistics to describe a phenomenon or structure that refers to itself or to another phenomenon.

In literature, metafooris can be seen in works that comment on or reflect upon their own structure, themes, or narrative techniques. For example, a novel that explores the nature of storytelling itself can be considered a metafooris work. In philosophy, metafooris can refer to a level of abstraction that discusses the nature of reality, knowledge, or existence.

In linguistics, metafooris can describe a linguistic structure that refers to another linguistic structure. For instance, a sentence that discusses the rules of grammar can be considered a metafooris sentence. The term metafooris is less commonly used than related concepts like "metaphor" or "metanarrative," but it serves a similar purpose in highlighting the self-referential or interreferential nature of certain phenomena.
