Social systems, self modelling and change, modelling purpose for interviewer, metaphor Lakoff and Johnson: 'one kind of thing in terms of another', examples general, esp. something the other does not understand in terms of something they do understand clean language questions trigger this behviour, symbolic modelling comprises metaphor, clean what do we mean by 'clean', modelling Modelling is the process of discovering the patterns in the structure and organisation of something In the context of this project we wanted to model the structure and organisation of how the various interested parties in the Minewater project perceive the past, present and future., clean language clean, Conventional conversations involve a 2-way flow of questions and answers, commentary and interpretation.
