Abstract

A set of notions in Cognitive Linguistics (CL), which imply to (re-)evaluate ontological commitments, are discussed when theoretical models turn to different fields of application. Theoretically, the paper revisits sayings about categorization, conceptualization, embodied cognition, situated cognition, grounding (embodied, experiential, sociocultural, interactional, and discursive), cognitive and cultural models. The paper enlightens cases of linguistic analyses where terms such as cognitive models and cultural models are employed interchangeably, improperly defined or without an establishment of pertinent distinctions. Therefore, the discussion about grounding in the Social Turn in CL reveals that it is paramount to create the proper distinctions between these two theories, because it implies, ultimately, resituating the notion of embodiment within the contemporary CL and its theoretical-ontological, theoretical-methodological entailments.
