Modeling Irony: A cognitive-pragmatic account
Inés Lozano-Palacio and Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez
This book adopts a broad cognitive-pragmatic perspective on irony which sees ironic meaning as the result of complex inferential activity arising from conflicting conceptual scenarios. This view of irony is the basis for an analytically productive integrative account capable of bridging gaps among… read more[Figurative Thought and Language, 12] 2022. ix, 173 pp.
Figuring out Figuration: A cognitive linguistic account
María Sandra Peña-Cervel and Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez
This book combines explanatory breadth with analytical delicacy. It offers a comprehensive study of a broad array of traditional figures of speech by systematizing linguistic evidence of the cognitive processes underlying them. Such processes are explicitly linked to different communicative… read more[Figurative Thought and Language, 14] 2022. ix, 296 pp.
Constructing Families of Constructions: Analytical perspectives and theoretical challenges
Edited by Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Alba Luzondo Oyón and Paula Pérez-Sobrino
Within Construction Grammar, this volume moves away from a compartmentalized view of constructions with the aim of providing a more holistic description of grammar. Thus, the book brings together analyses that look at constructional families within the “constructicon” of such languages as English,… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 58] 2017. vii, 342 pp.
The Functional Perspective on Language and Discourse: Applications and implications
Edited by María de los Ángeles Gómez González, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco Gonzálvez-García and Angela Downing
Over the last forty years, the functionalist approach to linguistic description and explanation has given rise to several major schools of thought that share two crucial assumptions: (i) form is not independent of meaning/function or language use; and (ii) linguistic description and explanation… read more[Pragmatics & Beyond New Series, 247] 2014. viii, 292 pp.
Theory and Practice in Functional-Cognitive Space
Edited by María de los Ángeles Gómez González, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Francisco Gonzálvez-García
The differences among functionalist, cognitivist and/or constructionist models are generally taken to be not absolute, but rather a matter of emphasis and degree, with an increasing permeability between paradigms arising from cross-fertilizing influences. This book further explores this burgeoning… read more[Studies in Functional and Structural Linguistics, 68] 2014. vi, 327 pp.
Cognitive Modeling: A linguistic perspective
Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Alicia Galera Masegosa
This monograph studies cognitive operations on cognitive models across levels and domains of meaning construction. It explores in what way the same set of cognitive operations, either in isolation or in combination, account for meaning representation whether obtained on the basis of inferential… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 45] 2014. ix, 250 pp.
Defining Metonymy in Cognitive Linguistics: Towards a consensus view
Edited by Réka Benczes, Antonio Barcelona and Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez
While cognitive linguists are essentially in agreement on both the conceptual nature and the fundamental importance of metonymy, there remain disagreements on a number of specific but, nevertheless, crucial issues. Research questions include: Is metonymy a relationship between “entities” or… read more[Human Cognitive Processing, 28] 2011. viii, 284 pp.

2025 Chapter 9. Understanding ironic echoing What makes a Figure: Rethinking figurativity, Colston, Herbert L. (ed.), pp. 248–270 | Chapter
Irony is one of the figures of speech that has received comparatively less attention than others in pragmatics and cognition. Relevance theorists account for verbal irony in terms of echoic mention (Sperber, 1984), which, in complementary work within Cognitive Linguistics, has been treated as… read more
2024 Metaphor as a resemblance phenomenon: A re-examination of the role of similarity in conceptual metaphor Cognitive Approaches to Mind, Language, and Society: Theory and description, Serrano-Losada, Mario and Daniela Pettersson-Traba (eds.), pp. 8–33 | Article
Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) departed from tradition in metaphor studies by treating this phenomenon as an ordinary one used in everyday reasoning. From its inception, this theory made emphasis on the role of experiential correlation in accounting for metaphorical thought to the detriment of… read more
2022 Linguistic and metalinguistic resemblance Figurativity and Human Ecology, Bagasheva, Alexandra, Bozhil Hristov and Nelly Tincheva (eds.), pp. 15–41 | Chapter
Similarity judgments are fundamental to cognition. They are part and parcel of our ability as humans to deal with the world around us. This ability shows in how we structure and use language. In this context, this chapter addresses the role of perceived similarity, or resemblance, in language… read more

This chapter offers an overview of conceptual metaphor research with particular attention to specialised language. It surveys the growing body of research showing the role of metaphor both as a tool to generate and develop scientific thinking and as a resource for specialised knowledge… read more
2021 On verbal and situational irony: Towards a unified approach Figurative Language – Intersubjectivity and Usage, Soares da Silva, Augusto (ed.), pp. 213–240 | Chapter
This chapter treats the notion of ironic echo as subsidiary to the broader notion of epistemic scenario, which applies to both verbal and situational irony. In verbal irony, the existence of an epistemic scenario takes the shape of a pretended agreement with someone’s beliefs, which can be… read more
2020 Figurative language: Relations and constraints Producing Figurative Expression: Theoretical, experimental and practical perspectives, Barnden, John and Andrew Gargett (eds.), pp. 469–510 | Chapter
The present paper discusses two aspects of the production of figures of speech. The first one is their relatedness, which is established on the basis of an analysis of their cognitive configuration in terms of combinations of cognitive operations. Such operations are applied to the creation of… read more
2020 The metonymic exploitation of descriptive, attitudinal, and regulatory scenarios in meaning making Figurative Meaning Construction in Thought and Language, Baicchi, Annalisa (ed.), pp. 283–308 | Chapter
This chapter accounts for the different outcomes resulting from the exploitation of different kinds of situational cognitive models (scenarios). Starting from Ruiz de Mendoza and Galera’s (2014) taxonomy of cognitive models, we take a step further by subdividing scenarios into descriptive,… read more
2019 On the cognitive grounding of agent-deprofiling constructions as a case of pretense constructions Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 32:2, pp. 573–589 | Article
Agent-deprofiling constructions have the function of drawing the language user’s attention to the non-agentive elements of a predication, while endowing one of these elements with agent-like qualities. Members of this family are the inchoative, middle, instrument-subject, location-subject, and… read more
2017 Chapter 2. Construing and constructing hyperbole Studies in Figurative Thought and Language, Athanasiadou, Angeliki (ed.), pp. 41–73 | Chapter
Hyperbole has received little attention in Cognitive Linguistics, while studies within psychology and pragmatics leave aside its representational aspects. To fill this gap, this chapter looks into linguistic evidence of the cognitive operations that underlie its communicative… read more
2017 Chapter 8. Cognitive modeling and irony Irony in Language Use and Communication, Athanasiadou, Angeliki and Herbert L. Colston (eds.), pp. 179–200 | Chapter
This chapter studies the role of the pragmatic notion of echo in creating ironic meaning. The notion of echo is treated as a cognitive operation rather than just a pragmatic task, which combines with other cognitive operations of at least two kinds: concept-building and inferential. The former… read more
2017 Conceptual complexes in cognitive modeling Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 30:1, pp. 299–324 | Article
The present paper goes beyond previous treatments of cognitive models, especially conceptual metaphor and metonymy, by drawing on linguistic evidence. It introduces needed refinements into previous meaning construction accounts by investigating the activity of conceptual complexes, i.e.,… read more

This paper investigates the notion of low-level situational cognitive model, its role in linguistic description and its possible computational treatment in the knowledge base FunGramKB. Low-level situational models are exploited metonymically to produce situation-based implicatures. When such… read more
2014 Mapping concepts: Understanding figurative thought from a cognitive-linguistic perspective Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 27:1, pp. 187–207 | Article
The notion of “conceptual mapping”, as a set of correspondences between conceptual domains, was popularized in Cognitive Semantics, following seminal work by Lakoff & Johnson (1980), as a way of accounting for the basic cognitive activity underlying metaphor and metonymy. Strangely enough,… read more
2014 Constructing discourse and discourse constructions Theory and Practice in Functional-Cognitive Space, Gómez González, María de los Ángeles, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez and Francisco Gonzálvez-García (eds.), pp. 295–314 | Article
In line with previous work on the Lexical Constructional Model or LCM(Ruiz de Mendoza & Mairal, 2008; Ruiz de Mendoza, 2013), the present paperpostulates the existence of fixed form-meaning pairings, or constructions, atdiscourse level. The paper first argues that discourse relations such as… read more
2013 Meaning construction, meaning interpretation and formal expression in the Lexical Constructional Model Linking Constructions into Functional Linguistics: The role of constructions in grammar, Nolan, Brian and Elke Diedrichsen (eds.), pp. 231–270 | Article

2011 Metonymy and cognitive operations Defining Metonymy in Cognitive Linguistics: Towards a consensus view, Benczes, Réka, Antonio Barcelona and Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez (eds.), pp. 103–124 | Article
This chapter begins with a distinction made in Ruiz de Mendoza and Peña (2005) between two broad kinds of cognitive operations: formal and content operations. The former are higher-level processes whose activity is necessary for lower-level processes to take place. The latter are used to make… read more
2009 Levels of description and explanation in meaning construction Deconstructing Constructions, Butler, Christopher S. and Javier Martín Arista (eds.), pp. 153–198 | Article
This article proposes the Lexical Constructional Model (LCM) as an explanatorily adequate model for the investigation of meaning construction at all levels of linguistic description, including pragmatics and discourse. The LCM has an argument structure module or level 1 module consisting of… read more

On the basis of Cognitive Model Theory, this chapter develops a number of explanatory tools – in the domains of conceptual prominence and of constraints on conceptual mappings – that prove useful in dealing systematically with similarities and differences among related grammatical phenomena, both… read more
2007 High-level metaphor and metonymy in meaning construction Aspects of Meaning Construction, Radden, Günter, Klaus-Michael Köpcke, Thomas Berg and Peter Siemund (eds.), pp. 33–49 | Article
This chapter addresses the problem of meaning construction in grammar from the point of view of high-level metaphor and metonymy. We argue that meaning construction, in the sense given to this term by Panther (2005), is essentially an inferential activity whether at the level of so-called pragmatic… read more
