Structural similarity in figurative language
Structural similarity may be based on the structural characteristics of concrete entities (e.g., the heart relates to bloodcirculation in the way that a pump to a hydraulic system) or on the structural properties of situations and events (e.g.,Your words were a dagger to my heart compares the emotional damage done by the hearers words to the physicalharm caused by a dagger). In combination with metonymy, structural similarity gives rise to parago…
Simple and complex cognitive modelling in oblique translation strategies in a corpus of English–Spanish drama film titles
This article provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the translation of English drama film titles into Peninsular Spanish, drawing on cognitive modelling and following preliminary findings in Peña-Cervel (2016) . Our study is consistent with the epistemological and ontological grounding of Cognitive Linguistics ( Samaniego-Fernández 2007 ) and contributes to satisfying one of the major challenges Rojo-López and Ibarretxe-Antuñano ( 20…
For Better, for Worse, for Richer, for Poorer, in Sickness and in Health
This paper is a qualitative usage-based treatment of merism from a cognitive-linguistic perspective. Considered a minor or non-basic figure of speech, especially if compared to the master tropes, metaphor and metonymy, merism is approached here as a figure of speech whose complexity has been largely and unfairly underestimated. We provide a principled account of the relationship of merism with metonymy starting off from the well-known assumption …
Hope and equilibrium in the dystopian world of The Hunger Games
This paper provides evidence of the fruitfulness of combining analytical categories from Cognitive Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis for the analysis of complex literary characterizations. It does so through a detailed study of the “tributes”, i.e. the randomly selected children who have to fight to death in a nationally televised show, in The Hunger Games. The study proves the effectiveness of such categories to provide an analytically…
Motivating film title translation
This proposal is a non-quantitative study based on a corpus of real data which offers a principled account of the translation strategies employed in the translation of English film titles into Spanish in terms of cognitive modeling. More specifically, we draw on Ruiz de Mendoza and Galera’s (2014) work on what they term content (or low-level) cognitive operations, based on either ‘stands for’ or ‘identity’ relations, in order to investigate possi…
Cognitive Mechanisms Underlying Fake Reflexive Resultatives
Both projectionist and constructional approaches to language support competing arguments as regards the place where grammar meets the lexicon. While the former claim that the morphosyntactic realization of verbal arguments is determined by the lexical semantic representation of the verb, the latter hold that lexicon and grammar form a continuum and put forward a shift of emphasis from the pivotal role of the verb within the sentence to the notion…
A constructionist approach to causative frighten verbs
This paper studies, on the basis of corpus data, the licensing and blocking factors in the lexical-constructional integration process of causative
Macbeth Revisited
Cognitive Stylistics or Poetics has emerged as a powerful framework for the analysis of literary works due to the fact that it provides us with tools stemming from bodily experience which aim at universality. This proposal attempts to shed additional light on the analysis of the characters and settings carried out by Freeman (1995) by making use of some recent developments within the framework of Cognitive Linguistics, especially in connection wi…
