Prikazi uma u Vetranovićevu Pelegrinu
The Representations of Mind in Vetranović’s Pelegrin

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with semantics of Pelegrin, a narrative poem written in the 16th century by Mavro Vetranović. The author categorises and interprets, from a cognitive point of view, literal and metaphorical expressions that are focusing on the mind, primarily the expressions of the concepts of consciousness, thoughts, and ants. The conceptual content, the embodiment and the cultural frames of the studied examples are considered. By analysing the conceptual content and emphasizing the universal grounding of metaphorical expressions, the focus from the interliterary influences is shifted to the images of unconsciousness as essential properties of the meanings produced in the poem.
