  • Fauconnier, Gilles and Mark Turner. 1996. Blending as a Central Process of Grammar. In Adele Goldberg (ed), Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language, 113–30. Stanford, CA: CSLI Publications.

(One of the earliest coherent treatments of the theory, by its originators.)

  • Fauconnier, Gilles and Mark Turner. 2002. The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending and the Mind’s Hidden Complexities. New York: Basic Books.

(The fullest exposition of the topic, in a popular style.)

(Coulson's treatment is lucid and often more explicitly linguistic than Fauconnier and Turner.)
