| Abstract | ||||
| The present study attempts a conceptual integration theory reading of selected scenes from Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey (1768). These selected scenes portray the stereotypical courting conduct of the hero, Yorick, with women. By applying the Conceptual Integration Theory, developed by Giles Fauconnier and Mark Turner, the study investigates the nature of Yorick's absurd behavior. The study proceeds with classifying and connecting different mental spaces to each other to examine the construction of the new blended meanings. | ||||
