Mental Spaces: Aspects of Meaning Construction in Natural LanguageCambridge University Press, 26 серп. 1994 р. - 190 стор. Mental Spaces is the classic introduction to the study of mental spaces and conceptual projection, as revealed through the structure and use of language. It examines in detail the dynamic construction of connected domains as discourse unfolds. The discovery of mental space organization has modified our conception of language and thought: powerful and uniform accounts of superficially disparate phenomena have become available in the areas of reference, presupposition projection, counterfactual and analogical reasoning, metaphor and metonymy, and time and aspect in discourse. The present work lays the foundation for this research. It uncovers simple and general principles that lie behind the awesome complexity of everyday logic. |

Сторінка xxii - Expressions do not mean; they are prompts for us to construct meanings by working with processes we already know. In no sense is the meaning of [an]. . .utterance 'right there in the words.
Сторінка xviii - Language does not itself do the cognitive building — it "just" gives us minimal, but sufficient, clues for finding the domains and principles appropriate for building in a given situation. Once these clues are combined with already existing configurations, available cognitive principles, and background framing, the appropriate construction can take place, and the result far exceeds any overt explicit information.
Сторінка xxii - Language, as we use it, is but the tip of the iceberg of cognitive construction. As discourse unfolds, much is going on behind the scenes: New domains appear, links are forged, abstract mappings operate, internal structure emerges and spreads, viewpoint and focus keep shifting.
Сторінка 1 - The plans we use for expressing and interpreting include procedures for language and the representations "that we set up as we talk or listen and that we structure with elements, roles, strategies, and relations
Сторінка xxxvii - The simple idea behind the approach explored in this book is that when we engage in any form of thought, typically mediated by language (for example, conversation, poetry, reading, story telling), domains are set up, structured, and connected. The process is local: A multitude of such domains - mental spaces - are constructed for any stretch of thought, and language (grammar and lexicon) is a powerful means (but not the only one) of specifying or retrieving key aspects of this cognitive construction.
