| Abstract | The differences between the English and the Bulgarian existential constructions are discussed as the result of the application of two different cognitive models, namely: (a) The English there + be + NP as the result of a specific type of metonymy typical of English, labelled as „predicate-splitting“ mapping, and (b) The Bulgarian има + NP as a metaphorical expansion based on the metaphor „Space (as if) has the entities inhabiting it“. |
