Network Models of Metaphor Translation

On the basis of Blending Theory, the cognitive process of metaphor translation is regarded as a process of blending among multispaces. It is the conceptual structure, organized by abstract or detailed frame that connects both inputs. Specific conceptual blending networks can be applied to metaphor translation and any type of network that can be brought into the four space blending model.
