Accordingly, this paper seeks to\u0000 investigate how euro adoption in Lithuania in 2015 was metaphorically\u0000 communicated by the media. The study is carried out within the framework of\u0000 Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA), which was developed by Charteris-Black (2005, 2011), Musolff (2008), Hart (2010). Thus, a three-step metaphor analysis procedure\u0000 (Identified→ Interpreted→ Explained) was employed in order to analyze the\u0000 attitude towards euro adoption presented in Lithuanian media. The findings show\u0000 that the euro is most frequently conceptualized as a living organism\u0000 with different scenarios (active agent and passive agent)\u0000 being realized linguistically. In the final stage – explanation – metaphors were\u0000 analyzed from a rhetorical perspective, which means that an attempt was made to\u0000 look into how metaphors communicate positive or negative attitudes about euro\u0000 adoption in the media. The results demonstrate that personification of the euro\u0000 makes the idea of euro adoption more understandable, it activates a range of\u0000 emotions and evaluates it. This leads to further insights about the way the\u0000 media exercises its power in an attempt to persuade people and manipulate their\u0000 attitudes, emotions and opinions.","PeriodicalId":127458,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Linguistic Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116211494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much\u0000 more than that must be considered for a full account of the semantics of space. It turns out that spatial arrangements manifest\u0000 functional consequences which are non-spatial, so prepositional vehicles cannot be equated solely with spatial elements (Vandeloise 1991, 1994). These non-spatial\u0000 parameters in turn, play a major role in spatial, non-spatial, and temporal conceptions. This provides solid ground to propose a\u0000 motivation behind these types of meanings that prepositions usually convey. This paper attempts to show how the conceptual\u0000 basis for each preposition proposed, is a key component within conceptual processes such as elaboration and extension\u0000 (Langacker 1987). Such an analysis provides a better understanding of the spatial\u0000 configuration of the English and Spanish prepositions, as well as an account for the semantic extension of non-spatial and\u0000 temporal conceptions. Using a corpus-driven methodology to evidence the prepositions’ use types, the results obtained favor the\u0000 hypothesis that non-spatial conceptions are ultimately motivated by spatial ones. This in turn, shows the language-specific\u0000 character of parameterization due to the clear differences that exist between the English prepositions between,\u0000 among, and amid, and their Spanish equivalent entre. The cognitive linguistic\u0000 analysis showed in this research may also offer a new perspective in the area of Language Teaching. The paper concludes with\u0000 suggestions for further research on the plausibility of psycholinguistic validation and pedagogical applications of the conceptual\u0000 bases proposed.","PeriodicalId":127458,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Linguistic Studies","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115649275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discussion is based\u0000 mainly on a previously unstudied grammatical construction with interesting semantic properties, and it is shown that although\u0000 clear semantic patterns can be observed in its most common uses, the construction is capable of expressing meanings that go beyond\u0000 a preliminary characterization suggested by typical attestations. It is hypothesized that two kinds of meanings can be observed in\u0000 grammatical constructions. One is the typically grammatical, relatively general meaning known to be conveyed by closed-class\u0000 forms. The other includes highly detailed readings found in clearly productive patterns, which function within a construction;\u0000 these relatively rich meanings are not necessarily the content of a construction. Based on uses of a number of constructions\u0000 discussed here, it is suggested that many characterizations of the semantic content of schematic constructions proposed in the\u0000 literature may be too detailed.

The paper examines the historical semantic connection between these three morphemes from a cognitive perspective and attempts to provide an explanation of how they are conceptually linked to each other. Based on a cognitive semantic analysis of the meanings of these forms, we propose that all three concepts are understood on the basis of and embedded in one and the same image schematic domain – comprised by the general unity/multiplicity schema – and derive from entailments of its subschemata. Such an image schematic account of the conceptual connections between these meanings provides an explanation for the various paths of semantic development from the original etymon leading to the established later meanings. This approach will also facilitate the semantic reconstruction of the ancestral Proto-Indo-European form and help identify the exact cognate relationships between some, same and sam-.","PeriodicalId":127458,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Linguistic Studies","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115017788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, the Old English expressions for emotional distress recorded in The Old English Thesaurus and old English dictionaries have been analyzed. Taking as a starting point the experiential grounding of emotion conceptualization, we first\u0000 present experimental evidence in support of the role of somato-behavioral reactions in emotion recognition, affective state\u0000 induction and emotional information processing and interpretation, and review the most common metonymic and metaphoric expressions\u0000 for sadness in Modern English. Next, we analyze the Old English vocabulary for sadness and the interplay between embodiment and\u0000 culture in the conceptualization and linguistic description of emotional distress. Such analysis makes it clear that in ancient\u0000 times, as in present day English, sadness and psychological distress were also conceptualized in terms of unpleasant physical\u0000 conditions such as illness, cold, darkness or heaviness. Consequently, a long-term diachronic trend in the conceptualization of\u0000 sadness can be traced even though its linguistic realization and motivation have varied through time.","PeriodicalId":127458,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Linguistic Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128049293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
