Summary/Abstract: The paper develops a Cognitive Poetics analysis of William Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 130”, which is a clear parody of the Elizabethan sonnet. Based on the insights of Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner’s (2002) conceptual blending theory, combined with Ronald Langacker’s (2008) theory of the Current Discourse Space, an attempt is made to account for the mechanism underlying the parody and its inversion in the sonnet.
