Abstract

The eminently rhetorical-literary approaches that rely on the possibilities of language do not allow a finished account of more complex phenomena that involve literature as a particular production of an author and his cognition. Cognitive Linguistics, with its special attention on the semantic phenomena conceived as a result of the perception, the experience of the world and mental processes of association as generators of the construction of meaning, could clarify multiple textual and sense phenomena present in literary texts. The poetry of Dionisio Salas Astorga, literary referent of our time, stands out for a marked grammatical condensation that has a parallel in a semantic condensation. This allows us to hypothesize that, owing to the semantic-grammatical complexity of his texts, some of his poems would require an interpretation based on the theory of Conceptual Integration (Fauconnier & Turner, 1998; Fauconnier, 2002; 2005) for the reconstruction of its meaning. That is why, in this work we will try to make an interpretative reading of a poem from the book Últimas oraciones from the Conceptual Integration or blending theory (Fauconnier & Turner, 1998; Fauconnier, 2002; 2005).
