Our conclusion is along the following lines: There can be “configurational rapport” (Whorf: 1956:139ff) between meanings and memories that a person keeps insulated or compartmentalised such that analogical affinities remain latent in the semantic systems of that “self”. The Conversational method challenges constrictive habits of left brain systems of expression thereby opening up to ‘discoveries’ of similitude or analogy. This opening up of meaning potential is enabled by using the more granular scale of cohesion and connectedness in right brain activity (Meares 2005; Goldberg 2009). We illustrate this issue linguistically from transcripts and from cohesion in music and poetry.
