“…The disyllabic construction, as a higher-level conceptual pattern, incorporate lower-level patterns like antonymous adjectives, according to the general principle of conceptual integration (Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez [31]). The more concrete structure tends to be adapted into more abstract pattern if there is any conflict (Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez & Díez Velasco [32]). In the present study, the antonymous adjectives are incorporated into the disyllabic constructions, and the constructions are incorporated into more general constructions.…”

Corpus-based research into antonyms inEnglish, Sweden and Japanese has gradually brought the lexical relation of antonymy into functional-cognitive linguistics in recent years. When antonymous adjectives are examined in Mandarin corpora, we find that they co-occur in both discontinuous constructions, for example, 既不热也不冷 ji bure ye buleng, literally not hot also not cold, 'neither hot nor cold', and lexical compounds, often called disyllabic compounds, for example, 大小 da xiao, literally big-small, 'size'. This study is a cognitive account of Mandarin disyllabic compound constructions composed of two antonymous adjective roots, such as 长短 chang duan, literally long-short, 'length', 左右 zuo you, literally left-right, 'control', and 反正 fan zheng, literally back-face, 'anyway'.With the help of the Lancaster corpus of Mandarin Chinese (LCMC) and the corpus from the Center for Chinese Linguistics (CCL), 51 instances of antonymous adjective compounds were retrieved. When the antonymous adjectives co-occur, there are interactions between the componential semantics and the constructional semantics. While the disyllabic compound constructions may inherit the part of speech from their components, they may also have their own part of speech, functioning as nouns, adverbs and even verbs. The different categories reflect different construals of the same conceptual content. In a nutshell, by adopting a cognitive linguistics approach, we show that the different uses of these compounds are related in a systematic way.

“…LO VE IS A JOURNEY, in which the lovers are the travellers, the couple's shared goals are identified with the destination, etc.). Finally, metaphor and metonymy may interact in a number of ways that nave been described in Ruiz de Mendoza & Diez (2002) and . We shall make use of this kind of analysis in order to address some of fhe issues arising from our study.…”

“…The following example, put forward by Ruiz de Mendoza & Diez (2002), presents a central open eye surrounded by different sorts of drugs. From a linguistic point of view, this advert may be explained by the fact that the metonymy included, being one of the source-in-target type, has the main function of developing the source of the metaphor in order to interpret it correctly.…”

Our analysis will also benefit from some of the proposals in Ruiz de Mendoza & Diez (2002) where it is argued that conceptual interaction is fully regulated and constrained by a limited set of interactional patterns. Finally, we will complement our discussion with relevant insights from Turner & Fauconnier's (1994, 1995,1996 theory of conceptual blending.…”

Construction Grammar focuses on the meaning encoded in the syntagmatic structures of language. However, syntagmatic meaning and coding interact in a complex way with paradigmatic structures such as lexis, metonymy, and metaphor. How can Construction Grammar capture the formal and semantic structure of entrenched schematic constructions while rigorously accounting for all these parameters? Based on the analysis of the conceptual domain of 'stealing' in English, this study demonstrates that through combining three different approaches to linguistic structure, the study of the semantic frame, the cognitive model, and the onomasiological lexical field, we can more properly appreciate and explain lexical, metaphoric, and constructional interplay.
