Abstract

This article aims to offer a proposal of application of the main concepts of Theory of mental spaces and the mixtures for the construction of meaning in multimodal texts, such as commercials and memes. Coulson (2001), Fillmore (1982), Lakoff and Johnson (1980, 2000), Turner (1989, 2001, 2002), among others, we aim to observe how the construction of the senses requires the reader to recur to mental and cognitive domains in the linguistic-discursive construction of their interpretation. We analyzed six multimodal texts from different sources found in the digital environment. The analyzes allowed us to observe texts as distributed cognition, in which the mode of functioning of the mind is the organizing principle of textual composition, and how linguistic-textual structures permeate this composition in the formation of social representations.
