Summary:

This volume looks at spatialisation of abstract concepts in verbo-pictorial aphorisms at work in the cartoons of a single artist. While extensive work has been done in studying spatialisation of abstract concepts in grammar and lexicon within cognitive linguistics, this book provides a detailed account of such phenomena in multimodal discourse. It integrates a range of approaches from cognitive linguistics, including image schema theory, conceptual theory of metaphor, multimodal metaphor theory, the dynamic approach to metaphor, and a multimodal approach to metonymy, and applies this multi-faceted framework to a selection of cartoons from the work of Polish artist Janusz Kapusta.
