Abstract

In Chapter 1 we called for a Cognitive Linguistic framework for CDA situated at the interpretation stage to complement cognitive-evolutionary explanation. We identified conceptualisation as an essential process in the communication of prejudice. In this chapter, then, we introduce the building blocks of conceptualisation; namely, mental spaces and cognitive models in the form of frames, image schemas and conceptual metaphors. We discuss the relation between conceptualisation and cognitive models and elaborate this discussion with specific regard to metaphor, an area in which critical applications of Cognitive Linguistics have been concentrated.KeywordsFuneral PyreInput SpaceTarget DomainSource DomainConceptual MetaphorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
