Meaning construction in the production and interpretation of compounds is schema-driven

Published in K. Boye, M. Fortescue & P. Harder (eds.), Language and Comprehension: input, process, product, Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, vol. 39:155-177. ONLY QUOTE FROM THE PUBLISHED VERSION

This paper develops a characterization of nominal compounds. The analysis is carried out on frame-schematic and construction-grammatical grounds.  It rests on assumptions about cognitive processing long since known within cognitive linguistics, but it criticizes certain linguistic applications of Fauconnier & Turner’s theory of conceptual integration. A crucial difference between the processing of literal and metaphorical compounds is established.

Means of meaning making in literary art. Focalization, mode of narration, and granularity

Instead of considering key concepts of narratology such as focalization (perspective) or mode of narration (teller vs. reflector, as Franz K. Stanzel has it) simply as criteria for a typology of texts, this paper intends to activate them as ‘symbolic forming tools’ or ‘means of meaning making’ in literary art. The fundamental claim is that an author can activate or apply them in various ways—experimenting with them—in view of obtaining given meaning effect within one and the same text.

Through analysis of examples it is shown how authors’ variations on the focalization, the narrative mode, and the granularity axes produce semiotic effects amenable to systematic characterization.

A recurrent concern in the paper is the representation of consciousness in literary art.

Letting. Making. and the Dynamics of Causation. A brief note.

...examines a format of representation allowing the modelling of both the basic letting concepts and the basic making concepts. The result is a dynamic schema model that offers possibilities of further elaboration as a model of narrative event sequences, and eventually as a format for interactive and context-anchored cognitive robotics
