Abstract
Humans, unlike other living species, have an unprecedented capability to create multi-
layered, complex and meaningful representations of events. An analysis of these
representations, which are intrinsically structured and connected through language in context,
gives us a detailed perspective of the social constructs. To quote (Evans 2007), cognitive
semantics is concerned with investigating the relationship between experience, the conceptual
system and the semantic structure encoded by the language.
Perception, memory, reasoning and attention are some of the aspects that go into analyzing
the language via the psychological approach. Centered on this perspective are two more
approaches viz, conceptual concerns and systematic conceptual structuring (Neely 1991). The
conceptual concerns include association of concepts, semantic memory, contextual
information, categorical structures, generation of inference, etc. And systematic conceptual
structuring includes the global integrated system of organized structures that helps language
to fit into various patterns (Leonard 2007).
