Construction of meaning at the level of discourse involves complex procedures. Exploring this process reveals the hidden complexities of linguistic cognition. This paper mainly tries to unpack one such complexity in this paper. It attempts to answer the way complex and often metaphorical usages are construed in language with a special reference to the language data drawn from Bangla emphasizing the way nominals behave in language. In doing so, we have adopted a model proposed by Karmakar and Kasturirangan (2011) to explain the process of conceptual blending. We have also tried to push the boundary a little behind by incorporating few mathematical assumptions.
