Starting from this “spatialisation of form” hypothesis (Lakoff 1987) it has been argued that discourse involves the construction of a mental space which functions as a basic cohesive element in the representation of social realities (Searle 2010) as entities, events and processes within the social world are organized relative to an ego-centric “deictic centre” (Chilton 2004, 2005). The geometric conceptualisations which underpin ideological and value-based positions in discourse can be mapped out “across space as coordinate correspondences on three fundamental dimensions” (Chilton 2005: 81): <span style='font-variant:small-caps'>space</span>, <span style='font-variant:small-caps'>time</span> and <span style='font-variant:small-caps'>modality</span>, or <span style='font-variant:small-caps'>axiology</span> (cf. Cap 2010). This model of discourse analysis has been applied in various discursive contexts, including war-legitimising discourse (Cap 2006), political party representations (Kaal, in press), metaphorical depictions of threat in immigration discourse (Hart 2010), and the (de)construction of conflict and national memory (Filardo-Llamas 2010).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US>At the same time, the domain of space displays significant diversity in how it is structured in language and discourse (Levinson 2003). The topology of space offers variables across particular parameters of<span style='font-variant:small-caps'> distance, direction, orientation</span> and <span style='font-variant:small-caps'>motion</span> (Langacker 2008) and Discourses exploit this “grammar” of space in different ways and to different ideological effects (Hart, forth.).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US>In this workshop we would like to address the basic (cognitive-linguistic) descriptive tools and methodological procedures for studying ideological variation in discursive constructions of space and spatially-construed constructions of social realities in discourse.
