The paper discusses motivation for metaphorical correspondences on the basis of the correlation of concepts, with special focus on conceptual blends. More specifically, it is centered around metaphorical meaning and possibilities that are offered by conceptual blends as tools for interpretation. A key part concerns the idea of the correlation hypothesis (Libura 2000) and its contribution to meaning creation. Providing an account of context-dependent (children’s animated films) meaning-construction, the research question assumes that the hypothesis of correlation serves as a useful tool for motivating, organizing and analyzing conceptual blends.
