In the evaluation of the student's performance, special emphasis is placed on the extent to which the student:
" masters the basic concepts and theories of cognitive semiotics;
" is familiar with the basic concepts of meaning creation (such as schemas, frame, metaphorical mappings, blending);
" is familiar with the relationship between bodily/perceptual experience and linguistic meaning structures;
" is able to analyse actual meaning phenomena whether perceptive or linguistic;
" is able to structure own material logically and express himself/herself clearly.
The course on semiotics and cognition introduces to the basic concepts of cognitive semiotics: metaphor, blending, frame, schema, conceptual structure and generally the relation between perception, conceptualization and linguistic expression. It aims at characterizing human meaning construction as it goes on in plain experience and is it is articulated in language. Key authors are, among others, George Lakoff, Mark Johnson, Len Talmy, Jean Petitot, Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner.
