(no subject)
I'm trying to come up with some terminology for an important concept in my thesis, and I thought I might ask for opinions here, seeing as there are lots of you from a variety of backgrounds (including lots of English/literature/communication/language sort of people, for whom this term might actually be relevant).
If someone describes a place to you that you've never been to before, or tells you a story about such a place, what do you call the imagined picture/map of that place that you form in your mind of that place from the description you're told?
It's an interesting thing to think about, isn't it?
