Abstract
Close analysis of small texts can reveal the potential conceptualizations prompted by linguistic material. Such texts are in themselves ‘discourse’ but also depend on the surrounding context, which is also discourse. This chapter introduces three levels of discourse and, using Blending Theory, shows how cross-domain conceptual relationships of various kinds are linked to the three levels.
