This paper provides an analysis of the use of the verb to show. It places theanalysis in the framework of Vyvyan Evans’s theory of Lexical Concepts andCognitive Models (LCCM) – a protean approach to meaning compositionand construction that deals with the way linguistic and conceptual structuresinteract, giving rise to meanings that can be placed on a continuum. Thestudy adds to the elaboration of that theory, incorporating into the analysisJohn Barnden’s (2010) notion of a meaning continuum as a non-linear, ormultidimensional, space. The notion is based on deconstructing metaphorand metonymy into multiple underlying dimensions, getting away from thetraditional assumption that properties such as similarity and contiguity allowus to neatly distinguish between metaphorical and metonymic associations. Bringing together Barnden’s work and LCCM theory provides the frameworkfor systematically approaching the possibility for metaphorical or metonymicprocessing to involve similarity as well as contiguity links between source andtarget in the process of constructing a situated meaning. The contribution thatstudy makes to cognitive semantics lies in its being the first attempt to examinecomplex figurative associations in the context of a meaning constructiontheory.
Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of the use of the verb to show.

Bringing together Barnden’s work and LCCM theory provides the frameworkfor systematically approaching the possibility for metaphorical or metonymicprocessing to involve similarity as well as contiguity links between source andtarget in the process of constructing a situated meaning.
