Dynamic model of PU modification

Following the cognitive linguistic tradition and its most prominent theories, Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) and Conceptual Integration Theory (Fauconnier and Turner, 2002) as well as the Dynamical Systems Theory (Gibbs and Colston, 2012) this paper proposes a principled set of constitutive principles of PU modification, as well as a set of modification principles. The constitutive principles are the basic regulatory principles of PU modification. The modification principles subsume the semantic, grammatical and lexical constraints and set limits to how far we can go in modifying a PU. Finally, we present a set of vital relations that serve as matching criteria for mobilizing items into the modification. The vital relations limit the number of open and variable, expandable or compressible slots, and the extent to which they allow variation, expansion or compression without compromising the recognisability and reproducibility of the modification. The emerging dynamic model of PU modification we propose takes into account the extralinguistic factors as well, including participants in the communication process, their traits and their aims, as well as the social and cultural context, which may determine the success or failure of a modified PU
