Semantic Leaps explores how people combine knowledge from different
domains in order to understand and express new ideas. Concentrating
on dynamic aspects of on-line meaning construction, Coulson
identifies two related sets of processes: frame-shifting and
conceptual blending. Frame-shifting is semantic reanalysis in which
existing elements in the contextual representation are reorganized
into a new frame. Conceptual blending is a set of cognitive
operations for combining partial cognitive models. By addressing
linguistic phenomena often ignored in traditional meaning research,
Coulson explains how processes of cross-domain mapping,
frame-shifting and conceptual blending enhance the explanatory
adequacy of traditional frame-based systems for natural language
processing. The focus is on how the constructive processes speakers
use to assemble, link and adapt simple cognitive models underlie a
broad range of productive language behaviour.
