Summary: Mental representation is an unobservable internal code for a physical item with semantic properties such as content, reference, truth-conditions and truth-value. It allows the depiction of both non-existent entities along with entities and events, which have not been experienced before. Cognitive semantics encompasses a broad range of descriptive models that cognitive linguistics have developed for the analysis of linguistic meaning. These models include concepts such as frame semantics, radial networks, conceptual metonymy, prototypicality, conceptual metaphor and construal mechanisms in grammar. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the role of mental representation and cognitive analysis in the study of semantics. It is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area of study.
