Foi de repente: ou como o processo de mesclagem conceptual permite que uma noção de temporalidade súbita seja convertida em uma ação involuntária

Abstract

This paper aims at investigation the process of conceptual blending analogy and metonymy, departing from Fauconnier's assumption (1999) and here analyzed  under the perspective of the socio-cognitive hypothesis on language (salomão 1996; 1997; 1999; Salomão Brodback 1998). On this line, it has been assumed that blend, as the resulting structure from the alignment of elements from the inputs accessed for it's making up, has a strong socila motivation, being mainly displayed as the product of a process  of verbal seduction, used by the speaker  to demand a certain MCI from his hearer, so guaranteeing the understanding/ statement/ action idealized for the behavioral and discoure synchrony.
