Blending networks networks in translation
Hermeneus: Revista de la Facultad de Traducción e Interpretación de Soria, (2005)Abstract
Translation is a conceptual blending where a formal linguistic structure provides efficient, but sparse prompts for constructing a conceptual structure which may, or may not, be shared by ST and TT. When it is shared, equivalent conceptual structure occurs in the forms of simple and mirror networks; when it is not shared, the conceptual structure is integrated in either forms of single scope or double scope networks where the new conceptual structure emerges.
