Optimality Principles for Conceptual Blending: A First Computational Approach
Authors
Abstract
We propose an implementation of the eight Optimality Principles from the framework of Conceptual Blending,as presented by Fauconnier and Turner (1998). Conceptual Blending explains several cognitive phenomena in
the light of the integration of knowledge from different mental spaces onto a single mental space: the Blend.
The Optimality Principles express general pressures that compete in the generation of the Blend.
The work we present now corresponds to the Constraints module of our computational model of Conceptual
Blending, also described in other papers.
