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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe ground-breaking research presented in this volume will be of interest to linguists and cognitive scientists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributors are Claudia Brugman, Gilles Fauconnier, George Lakoff, Yo Matsumoto, Errapel Mejias-Bikandi, Laura A.
