Abstract

Cognitive linguistics confirms Zelger’s (1999, 2000) basic proposition about the condensation and spatial grouping of knowledge into gestalt clusters. The cognitive linguistic approach to conceptual and linguistic gestalten opens a vista on further facets of real-life cognition that might be incorporated into GABEK. Various cognitive findings point to constraints on automated gestalt building and caution us to consider top-down and bottom-up processes of thematic integration in combination. Suggestions for method development in GABEK include taking cognitive dilemmas more seriously and analysing clashing gestalten as integrated tropes.
