Talk:Conceptual blending

This topic could concievably take up thousands of words. I'm thinking that besides the skeletal intro, someone could expound on the different types of blending (simplex, mirror..) and also the different vital relations (Identity, Change, Web..). Some general examples like the Buddhist Monk riddle and also a specific example from each type of blending. The scope is vast. The definitive source is the book The Way We Think. Blend and discuss. -- Gyan 02:01, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Posted on the Resources fork are a list of conceptual blending resources that I could find on the net. These include documents describing blending, discussing blending, applying blending and various miscellanea. Some of the documents can't be pigeonholed into a single category. Often a researcher will give an overview of blending before delving into the specific application, but since the focus is the application, that's how I've categorized it. Please feel free to add your own. Thanks -- Gyan 20:59, 7 May 2004 (UTC)-

I think this article is off to a good start, but needs improvement before being considered a solid trustworthy article. First, the article needs more research, more citations, and more figures and charts. Additional examples would help explain conceptual blending. The possible copyright infringement needs to be fixed as soon as possible to prevent questioning the legitimacy of your article. I also think more variety in your research would greatly improve the information you are trying to present. (BEL46855 (talk) 05:30, 11 September 2012 (UTC))
