Abstract

This essay addresses transdisciplinarity as a response to the challenges faced in an investigation on the teaching-learning process of Portuguese as a heritage language in France, mediated by the reading of comics (CALDEIRA, 2021). Namely, it conjugates Cognitive Linguistics theories such as Conceptual Integration (FAUCONNIER; TURNER, 2002), categorization and recategorization in L2 (LITTLEMORE, 2015), and Idealized Cognitive Models (LAKOFF, 1987) with psycholinguistics, second language acquisition, and linguistic anthropology. Thanks to the transgression of disciplinarity borders, a methodology of data crystallization was developed, based on the one proposed by Richardson (2018), in which each element of the corpus acted as one of the facets present in the coconstruction of understandings relative to the research questions.
