More than a Metaphor: Metaphoric Strategies in Dynamic Processes of Meaning Construction Riccardo Fusaroli and Claudio Vandi Abstract. This chapter aims at presenting a conception of metaphors as the result of dynamic processes of meaning construction. Through the analysis of Conceptual Metaphor Theory, Blending Theory and the metaphor “that man is a caiman”, we highlight the need for a dynamic perspective on embodied cognition, where sedimented conceptual structures are locally deployed as resources and not as determining types. Considering cultural, discursive, lexical and co-textual factors, it is possible to describe the metaphor as a local diagram of semantic relations that can be manipulated, as a part of wider interpretative strategies. Through this analysis, a conception of schemata and conceptual structures as attractors sedimented in the course of practices is proposed. Introduction An ever growing number of studies persuasively demonstrates that everyday cognition is continuous and dynamic, not a punctual transformation of stable states, but a process of partially overlapping fuzzy grey areas that are drawn over time (Thelen and Smith 1994; Port and van Gelder 1995; Clark 1997; Spivey 2006). The aim of this chapter is to situate metaphorical occurrences in this unfolding of cognitive processes. Assuming a particular kind of Cognitive Semantics approach – in which “meaning is cognition” (Evans and Green 2006) and cognition is ecological and deeply shaped by socio-cultural practices – we will focus on linguistic data and not on the experiences of empirically tested subjects. This perspective does not need to neglect discursive frames and contexts. Since cognition is constituted by continuous overlappings, the construction of the meaning related to a specific linguistic expression will emerge in a wider field of expectations. This kind of analysis aims at tracking the conditions through which the relation between text and context emerges, the way a more s
