An Analysis of Conceptual Blending in Selected Verses from Surah Al- Baqarah

Abstract

This investigation seeks to analyze the effectiveness of Fauconnier and Turner's (2002) Conceptual Blending Theory in interpreting the formation of meaning within chosen verses from Surah Al-Baqarah. The objective of the study is to deduce the intended message by integrating the available cognitive inputs. The results of the investigation indicate that the mechanisms of conceptual blending theory are capable of elucidating the meaning construction within the selected verses
