The Same, but Different . a Cognitive Linguistic Approach to Variantivity by Piotr Stalmaszczyk

This study focuses on the concepts of similarities and differences considered within the framework of cognitive linguistics and its understanding of mental construal as our ability to form alternate conceptualisations. The author employs selected cognitive models in the analysis of a variety of verbal, visual, and verbo-visual texts from the domains of literature, art, the press, as well as internet communication. With a focus on the practical dimension, the author suggests that comparing theme-related texts, alternative conceptualisations, and variations might be used as a strategy in teaching cognitive linguistics.

Aleksandra Majdzińska is a lecturer at the Institute of English Studies at the University of Lodz (Poland). She holds a PhD in Linguistics. Her research interests include cognitive linguistics, mental imagery and perspective, word-image interactions, and cognitive stylistics.
