ABSTRACT:
Abstract concepts, but human experiences too, are constructed in language through the process of metaphorical mapping between a source domain and a target domain. One of the most basic sources of humans is the corporeal experience. Cognitive metaphors help us understand reality, but they also limit us. Some elements of the source domain are used, and their importance is amplified in the target domain, and some elements of the source domain are never used, these would remain hidden. This present study proposes a different modality of understanding emotionality expressed through language. A case study will help us present the new concept of “impressional representation”, described by Sándor Szilágyi N.

Keywords: cognitive metaphor, embodiment, impressional representation, emotions, semantics of depression
