The research draws on data from textual investigation using corpora, as well as from experiments of various kinds, such as psycholinguistic experiments and eye-tracking.

Windows Into Conceptual Space

The Construal of Spatial Meaning

Maggie's story began at an early age in the mid-1950s to 1960s. She grew up in a hostile environment, where instead of being protected by her parents, she needed protection from them! Physical and mental abuse were almost a daily occurrence. Tormented constantly by her sister, Mary, her brother, Mike, was the only light in her life. Things did not improve as Maggie reached her teenage years; if anything, they worsened! Lack of love from her parents sent Maggie in pursuit of affection elsewhere.
