Abstract

Cognitive Linguistics can be defined as an approach to language that is mainly relied on people's perceptions of the world and how they perceive, understand, and conceptualize it. The Conceptual Blending Theory , which was established by J Fauconnier and M. Turner, is affirmed in this study. in order to explain concepts like Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Mental Space Theory, Blending Theory was developed. The focus of blending theory was on the function of language in the creation of meaning, especially in creative features such as counterfactuals and novel metaphors.
