Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine construal as a basic human cognitive operation and its representative forms in Cognitive Linguistics. To achieve this purpose, the paper focuses on two main points: (a) a brief introduction to construal and some of its classification models, (b) an examination of the representative forms of construal which we often see in the literature of Cognitive Linguistics.
