PROTOTYPE THEORY IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS
Keywords:
categorization, recategorization, conceptual, ideal world, real world, neutralAbstract
Humans cut nature at its joints, endlessly classifying it in order to make sense of the world. According to Smith (1990), psychologically speaking, humans categorize things that they think belong together. But human beings go further than that. They develop ideas. A concept can refer to a variety of things, from a mental representation of a category, a group of objects, or some sort of mental glue (Murphy, 2002), to a representation of a body of knowledge that can be applied to classify and comprehend a range of things, including events, processes, and objects (Cohen & Murphy, 1984).
