We can say that Descartes founded the modern philosophy with an universal proposal of the mundane understanding. Dissociating the bodily experience from our thinking matter - mind, we could capture the true essence of everything through rational and objective thought. The idea of the embodied mind, translated here by Lakoff and Johnson's theories (1980), breaks Descartes' dichotomy and various other traditions rooted in our Western culture. Our goals in this paper is to bolster the new theoretical proposition of embodied mind and think about a new grammatical model that highlights the embodiment of mind.
embodied mind; construcion grammar; cognition and language
