Abstract

: In this paper we present an analysis of visual puns in the light of analytical tools and operational concepts of Cognitive Linguistics through a qualitative research perspective. Along the way, we used the Theory of Conceptual Integration (FAUCONNIER; TURNER, 2002), the notions of Mental Spaces (FAUCONNIER, 1984) and the Frame Semantics (FILLMORE, 1976; LAKOFF 2004) to support the hypothesis that the effect of humor occurs through a conceptual integration operation. The research takes place along the lines of Casell and Symon (1994), according to which the researcher works according to the dynamic progress of the study. The objectives (to observe the effect of humor on conceptual integrations) are exploratory (GIL, 1991). As for data treatment and object orientation (conceptual integrations of visual puns), we are guided on the bases of qualitative research procedures in Cognitive Linguistics (GONZALEZ-MARQUEZ et al, 2007). The methodological procedure is guided by the foundation in data in an Evidential Paradigm approach (GINZBURG, 1989). Through the results, we believe that the effect of humor in the conceptual integration process arises with the emergence of the conceptual entity substantiated in the blended space at the end of the process.
