This paper aims to illustrate Talmy's notion of Ception, which is the cognitive domain that conjoins the traditional distinct categories of perception and cognition. It is ruled by a set of parameters, which allow for the identification of commonalities and discrepancies along a cline of veridicality, with the two poles being represented by entirely concrete experience and abstract thought. We will finally pin down some instances of high-level conceptual metaphors that licence the linguistic realization of the caused-motion construction when it is instantiated by cognition verbs.

Abstract

This paper aims to illustrate Talmy's notion of Ception, which is the cognitive domain that conjoins the traditional distinct categories of perception and cognition. It is ruled by a set of parameters, which allow for the identification of commonalities and discrepancies along a cline of veridicality, with the two poles being represented by entirely concrete experience and abstract thought. We will finally pin down some instances of high-level conceptual metaphors that licence the linguistic realization of the caused-motion construction when it is instantiated by cognition verbs.
