Idealized cognitive model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Idealized Cognitive Models)

In cognitive linguistics, an idealized cognitive model (ICM) is the phenomenon in which knowledge represented in a semantic frame is often a conceptualization of experience that is not congruent with reality.[1] It has been proposed by scholars such as George Lakoff and Gilles Fauconnier.
