Semantic vs Phonological Space in Cognitive Linguistics #163055 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram depicts two cognitive layers: the lower phonological space contains the lexical item "DOG", while the upper semantic space holds its conceptual representation-a vivid, running dog in a thought bubble. A dotted line signifies the mapping process from sound-based form to meaning-based concept, central to theories of embodied cognition and distributional semantics.

Used in academic or educational web pages explaining cognitive linguistics, computational semantics, or NLP fundamentals; targets students, researchers, and developers seeking intuitive models of word-meaning relationships.
