Deciphering Novel Expressions: A Proposal for an Integrated Cognitive Meaning Construction Analysis
Journal Title: Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Skłodowska Sectio FF Philologiae - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper is meant to be a contribution to the discussion on the nature of novel linguistic meaning arising in the process of meaning construal motivated by both the semantic structure of language and mental representations evoked for a particular linguistic scene, driven by context created and processed by a speaker and hearer participating in a particular discourse. It proposes to account for the mental operations and discourse-specific interactions taking place while meaning construction process unfolds in the minds of language users by resorting to V. Evans’s (2009) Lexical Concepts and Cognitive Models theory, G. Fauconnier and M. Turner’s (2002) Conceptual Integration Theory, and R.W. Langacker’s (2008) Current Discourse Space. The integration of these different approaches within cognitive semantics is an attempt to create a more unified framework for a comprehensive meaning construction analysis of novel expressions involving the three levels of dynamic and context-mediated meaning construal: (i) lexical representation, (ii) conceptual processing, and (iii) discursive interaction.
