Departing from the standpoint of two cognitive linguistic theories, the Metaphor
Theory and the Conceptual Integration or Blending Theory, this paper attempts to
establish their role in the creation and processing of both conventional and modified
phraseological units. It investigates the range of applications and interpretations
of the existing cognitive models, furnishing them with attested phraseological
material to test their efficiency and universality. It is argued that the two theories
can be viewed as complementary: whereas the theory of metaphor is productive
in accounting for a wide range of conventional phraseological units, the theory
of conceptual integration can be consistently applied to the analysis of modified
phraseological units.
