In the highly influential mentalspaces framework developed by Gilles Fauconnier in the mid1980s, the mind creates multiple cognitive 'spaces' to mediate its understanding of relations and activities in the world, and to engage in creative thought.These twelve original papers extend the mentalspaces framework and demonstrate its utility in solving deep problems in linguistics and discourse theory. Investigating the ties between mental constructs, they analyze a wide range of phenomena, including analogical counterfactuals; the metaphor system for conceptualizing the self; abstract change expressions in Japanese; mood in Spanish; deictic expressions; copular sentences in Japanese; conditional constructions; and reference in American Sign Language.The groundbreaking research presented in this volume will be of interest to linguists and cognitive scientists.The contributors are Claudia Brugman, Gilles Fauconnier, George Lakoff, Yo Matsumoto, Errapel MejiasBikandi, Laura A. Michaelis, Gisela Redeker, Jo Rubba, Shigeru Sakahara, Jose Sanders, Eve Sweetser, and Karen van Hoek.
