Mark Turner speaking in front of an interested audience

During the workshop "Media Archives and Corpus Analysis", Cinepoetics was honored to hold a special discussion with Mark Turner, Institute Professor and Professor of Cognitive Science at Case Western Reserve University. In the early 1990s, Turner, together with Gilles Fauconnier, founded the theory of conceptual blending. More recently, he co-directs the "Distributed Little Red Hen Lab", a consortium for research into multimodal communication. To engage in a scholarly discussion with Turner, Jana Bressem (Academic Assistant at the chair German Linguistics, Technical University Chemnitz), Silva Ladewig (Assistant Professor at the chair for Language Use and Multimodal Communication, European University Viadrina), and Cornelia Müller (Professor for Language Use and Multimodal Communication, European University Viadrina) gave a talk on "Verbo-Kinesic Constructions."
