Resumo
Christine is a woman patient treated by the neurologist Oliver Sacks. Her case appears in the The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Christina suffered from a strange illness. One day her body ceased to obey her. She feels strange, “disembodied”. This paper concentrates on this topic: the mind as something inherently embodied. Cognitive semantics maintains that body and thought are not separate entities. The body is seen as exerting its influence on language and knowledge at a more basic level now. Embodied metaphors are very prevalent in everyday talk, even if the bodily origin is often not easily evident.
