This paper aims to put into perspective, through an epistemological approach the theories of blending (or “conceptual integration”, CI)and analogy.

Abstract

This paper aims to put into perspective, through an epistemological approach the theories of blending (or “conceptual integration”, CI)and analogy. It is based on the integration of cognitive semantics approach (Fauconnier, 1985; Fauconnier and Turner, 1996, 1998 and 2002), analogical linguistics approach (Monneret 2004, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023) and cognitive psychology approach (Gentner 1983; Gentneret al., 2001; Hofstadter, 2001; Hofstadter and Fluid Analogies Research Group 1995; Hofstadter and Sander, 2013). More specifically, the question posed is whether the analogical process underlies the formation and structuring of CI or whether CI is just a special case of analogical process. The paper will develop in three points i) an introduction to mental spaces and CI aimed at examining the place of analogy in the model; ii) a presentation of the analogical model in linguistics; iii) a comparison between the two models.

Cet article a pour objet de mettre en perspective, selon une approche épistémologique, les théories du blending (ou « intégration conceptuelle ») et de l’analogie. Il se situe dans le cadre de la sémantique cognitive (Fauconnier, 1985 ; Fauconnier et Turner, 1996, 1998 et 2002), de la linguistique analogique (Monneret 2004, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023) et de la psychologie cognitive (Gentner 1983 ; Gentner et al.,2001 ; Hofstadter 2001 ; Hofstadter et Fluid Analogies Research Group 1995; Hofstadter et Sander 2013). Plus spécifiquement, la question posée est celle de savoirsi le processus analogique est sous-jacent à la formation et à la structuration de l’IC ou si ce dernier n’est qu’un cas particulier de processus analogique. L’article se développera en trois points i) une introduction aux espaces mentaux et à l’IC visant à examiner la place de l’analogie dans le modèle ; ii) une présentation du modèle analogique en linguistique ; iii) une comparaison entre les deux modèles.
