Abstract This paper first of all points out that during the last forty years, recontextualization is a main underlying trend and characteristics of Cognitive Linguistics. However, traditional Critical Discourse Analysis also emphasizes and implements recontextualization while analyzing the data. Cognitive Linguistics’attention to social context is mainly manifested in four levels: (1) the definition and basic structure of language include cognition in a social and cultural environment; (2) research on the variability between language and culture, to explore the role of cultural models in language variability; (3) not focus on the variation between languages, but examination of the variation within a language. Critical Cognitive Linguistics appear at this level and tend to take an evaluation standpoint, not just description; (4) focus on analyzing actual dialogue and communication from the perspective of social interaction. The recontextualization of critical discourse research is embodied in the analysis of social actors, forming a three-step model of social actor analysis: identifying social actors; speculating on the ideology behind the discourse; recognizing the possible intentions of the communicator. Based on the two points mentioned above, the paper proposes the notion of “social recontextualization” in Critical Cognitive Linguistics, exploring its feasibility and suggesting that it is consistent with the third wave of cognitive science, that is, amalgamated mind that coalesces the brain, the body and the environment. In the end the paper stresses that psychological experiments can be one form of social recontextualization.
