ABSTRACTS for Ten Lectures on Cognitive Construction of MeaningTEN LECTURESCognitive Construction of MeaningGilles Fauconnier1. Mental SpacesAs we think and talk, rich arrays of mental

17、spaces and connections between them are constructed unconsciously. This lecture outlines the simple and general principles that govern mental space construction. When combined and applied to rich pragmatic situations, the principles yield unlimited numbers of meanings and unlimited nesting. Grammar

18、is the link between invisible backstage cognition and the observable behavior of humans when they talk and think. The cognitive theory of mental spaces explains a variety of logical phenomena, such as opacity, presupposition projection, and analogical counterfactuals. It leads to the theory of conce

19、ptual integration which will be presented in the following lecture.2. Conceptual IntegrationConceptual integration (blending) is a basic mental operation that leads to new meaning, global insight, and conceptual compressions useful for memory and manipulation of otherwise diffuse ranges of meaning.

20、It plays a fundamental role in the construction of meaning in everyday life, in the arts and sciences, in mathematics, and in religious thought. The essence of the operation is to construct a partial match between inputs, to project selectively from those inputs into a novel blended mental space, wh

21、ich then dynamically develops emergent structure. It has been suggested that the capacity for complex conceptual blending (double-scope integration) is the crucial capacity needed for thought and language. This lecture illustrates conceptual blending through examples drawn from everyday human behavi

22、or, and presents the constitutive and governing principles that constrain the cognitive operation. 3. Causal Compressions in Language and ThoughtCompression of vital relations is a key component of conceptual integration. This lecture focuses on the compression of causal chains and discusses the rem

23、arkable human capacity to decompress elaborate causal chains when prompted by minimal linguistic cues. The overall problem raised by causal compression phenomena is the following: elaborate space configurations are set up and processed in the absence of explicit grammatical markings for the frames,

24、spaces, and connections needed. Language guides us in certain directions and constrains the configurations, but it does not directly specify the causal chains that need to be constructed in order for meaning to emerge. Types of compression are discussed, along with the principles that govern them. C

25、onsequences for grammar, design, and communication are discussed.4. Emergent Structure in Conceptual NetworksA powerful aspect of conceptual integration networks is the dynamic emergence of novel structure. Emergent structure is manifested in the blended spaces created by a network, and also in its

26、overall web of connections between mental spaces. In this lecture we will analyze data from language, mathematics, technology, and advertising. The analysis will highlight the ways in which conceptual structures can evolve, both culturally and individually. Emergent structure that humans can develop

27、 through double-scope blending is the key to scientific and artistic creativity, and to the construction of religious experience. But creativity with emergent structure also takes place routinely in everyday life and is especially visible in humor, cartoons, and irony. The unity of human invention i

28、n very different areas will be shown through the study of the underlying integration networks.5. Metaphor and Conceptual BlendingMetaphors are usually double-scope conceptual blends. The standard source-target model has been very useful in developing metaphor theory, but a deeper account requires a

29、framework in which to study emergent structure and compression produced by metaphor. This lecture will focus on the emergence of complex metaphors through successive conceptual blends. The conceptualization of time will be discussed. The time as space metaphor that we observe in everyday language is

30、 itself emergent when we consider the full spectrum of relevant data. Multiple inputs and succesive integrations operate in the elaborate conception of time that humans create over long periods and that children acquire in a short period through a mix of supervised and unsupervised learning. 6. Inte

31、gration and Grammatical ConstructionsA basic function of grammar is to prompt for the construction of mental space configurations during ongoing discourse. In particular, grammatical constructions are typically templates for blending form and content. In this lecture, we will look in some detail at

32、causative grammatical constructions in English, French, and Hebrew. Grammar, as it turns out, is a powerful compression tool. Understanding a language is having the ability to decompress grammatical constructions in context. Typically, this depends on the mastery of conventional blends and their cre

33、ative application to novel situations. We will show that this is equally true of the simplest constructions, such as noun-noun compounds or x of y, and the most complex ones commonly studied in linguistics as syntax.7. Origins of LanguageDuring the Upper Paleolithic, human beings developed an unprec

34、edented ability to innovate. They acquired a modern human imagination, which gave them the ability to invent new concepts and to assemble new and dynamic mental patterns. The results of this change were awesome: human beings developed art, science, religion, culture, refined tool use, and language.

35、A key factor was the evolution of the mental capacity for conceptual blending. In this lecture, we will explore the implications of these findings for the origin of language. There are many problems besetting theories of the origin of language. These problems include the absence of intermediate stag

36、es in the appearance of language, the absence of existing languages more rudimentary than others, the appeal to some extraordinary genetic event unlike any other we know of, and the difficulty of finding a defensible story of adaptation. Conceptual integration theory opens up a different way of look

37、ing at the origin of language that is free of such problems. 8. Material Culture and Meaning ConstructionThe cognitive anthropologist Ed Hutchins has shown that material objects can be powerful anchors for conceptual blends. In particular, technology evolves to produce cultural human artefacts such

38、as watches, gauges, compasses, airplane cockpit displays, with structure specifically designed to match conceptual inputs and integrate with them into stable blended frames of perception and action that can be memorized, learned by new generations, and thus culturally transmitted. Existing structure

39、 in the world can also be recruited opportunistically for the same purpose. Like mathematics and grammar, technology evolves through successive blending, as for example in the case of banking and computing blended to the human manipulation of automatic teller machines. This lecture will discuss such

40、 cases and show their importance for understanding how language, whether signed or spoken, is anchored materially by gesture, sound, and writing. 9. Generalized Integration NetworksThis lecture will point out some useful generalizations that emerge from the study of integration, along with some of t

41、he pervasive fallacies that stand in the way of making such generalizations. Through the analysis of attested data, we will explore the notion of generalized integration networks and how they allow the construction of a multiplicity of surface products in human thought and action. Labels like metaphor, metonymy, counterfactual, help to classify our superficial intuitive observations, but they do not
