This book - written in collaboration with Rene Doursat, director of
the Complex Systems Institute, Paris - adds a new dimension to
Cognitive Grammars. It provides a rigorous, operational
mathematical foundation, which draws from topology, geometry and
dynamical systems to model iconic "image-schemas" and "conceptual
archetypes". It defends the thesis that Rene Thom's morphodynamics
is especially well suited to the task and allows to transform the
morphological structures of perception into Gestalt-like, abstract,
proto-linguistic schemas that can act as inputs into higher-level
specific linguistic routines. Cognitive Grammars have drawn upon
the view that the deep syntactic and semantic structures of
language, such as prepositions and case roles, are grounded in
perception and action. This study raises difficult problems, which
thus far have not been addressed as a mathematical challenge.
Cognitive Morphodynamics shows how this gap can be filled.
