“…Things are de scribed 'as they happen', by a fictitious 'direct witness', etc . This bundle of properties suggest that this imparfait is a blend in the sense of Fauconnier and Turner (1994) or a mixed category in the sense of Malouf (1998). That is, it partially inherits from two different sets of constraints.…”

“…Could we conciliate type AT 333 (where the werewolf is a villain) with the antithetically related medieval lays of type AT 449 (where the werewolf is the victim)? Such conciliations of opposites are treated under the topic of blending [19], often requiring creative adaptations. A solution is given by type AT 425C: Beauty and the Beast.…”

Abstract.A small number of variants of a widely disseminated folktale is surveyed, and then analyzed in an attempt to determine how such variants can emerge while staying within the conventions of the genre. The study follows the classification of types and motifs contained in the Index of Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson. The paper's main contribution is the characterization of four kinds of type interactions in terms of semiotic relations. Our objective is to provide the conceptual basis for the development of semi-automatic methods to help users compose their own narrative plots.

“…One of the approaches to model linguistic structure in the process of meaning construction is represented by the Conceptual Integration Theory (CIT, also referred to as Conceptual Blending Theory) as proposed by Fauconnier and Turner (1994, 2002, a theory which developed out of the theory of mental spaces as postulated by Fauconnier (1985Fauconnier ( , 1994.…”

Neosemantic noun-to-verb conversions such as beer → to beer, door → to door, pink → to pink, etc., constitute a particularly interesting field of study for Cognitive Linguistics in that they call for a discourse-guided and context-based analysis of meaning construction. The present article takes a closer look at the cognitive motivation for the conversion process involved in the noun-verb alterations with a view to explaining the semantics of some conversion formations in relation to the user-centred discourse context. The analysis developed in this article draws from the combined insights of Fauconnier and Turner’s (2002) Conceptual Integration Theory and Langacker’s (2005, 2008) Current Discourse Space.
