Hampe Beate. From Perception to Meaning: Image Schemas in Cognitive Linguistics

Mouton de Gruyter, 2005. — (Cognitive Linguistics Research). — xi, 485 pages. — ISBN13: 978-3-11-018311-5; ISBN10: 3-11-018311-0.In order to give a broader audience in Cognitive Linguistics and its neighbouring disciplines in the social and cognitive sciences access to the current state-of-the-art in image schema theory, From Perception to Meaning unites a comprehensive range of original papers by renowned scholars – many of whom have shaped image schema theory from the very beginning.Rather than trying to resolve all currently existing tensions into a completely unified notion, however, this collection is intended to document the innovations as well as inconsistencies that have accumulated over the past two decades, to take stock of both the question marks that accompany them, and the great promise they hold for advancing the entire field.Image schemas in Cognitive Linguistics: Introduction
