Resumen
The study of Old English texts gives essential information in multiple fields such as linguistics, history and psychology. However, understanding complex textual entities as is the case of “The Wife’s Lament” poem is certainly problematic as the multiple interpretations evidence. This paper aims to return the poem to its core meaning by analysing its relationship with the historical context and by applying a cognitive linguistics approach. It proposes a theory based on the prototypicality concept and the connection between language and historical context, ‘The Conceptual Foundations Theory’, in the hope that this could be useful to study other texts. Moreover, the analysis of Idealized Conceptual Models: metaphors, metonymies and image schemas, fundamental in cognitivism, will also attempt to shed light on the interpretation of this poem. This could also be of some assistance in future research.
