This research aims to understand conceptual integration through a built model based on an ecocognitive vision. Such phenomenon is characterized by the junction of two or more concepts causing a third concept with new characteristics not initially foreseen. The MEIC (Ecocognitive Model of Conceptual Integration) is added by an embodied vision based on the ecological approach to cognition and language (DUQUE, 2015b, 2016, 2017), which postulates that our cognition is in line with the environment. The model emphasizes the physical observation of the body that occurs online as communication situations are presented in roleplaying games. We take into account not only speech and written text, but also gestures and contexts that exist in an effective communication situation within this framework. To this end, we used RPG games captured from public channels on youtube.com as corpus. The approach is essentially qualitative and interpretive with exploratory objectives (GIL, 1991). As for the methodology, the study is guided by grounded theory (STRAUSS; CORBIN, 2015), which allows the construction of interpretations from the data found by the researcher. As for the nature, the research is of the basic type (CASELL; SYMON, 1994) and interpretative (CRESWELL, 2003). Along the way, we revisit theories, analytical tools and operational concepts of Cognitive Linguistics such as the notions of simulation (BARSALOU, 1999), frames and framing (LAKOFF, 2004; FILLMORE, 1976; DUQUE, 2015a, 2017; DUQUE; SILVA 2019) and conceptual integration (FAUCONNIER; TURNER, 1996, 2002). During the studies it was possible to realize that both the environment and the linguistic production and physical movement of the players have a strong participation in the process of Conceptual Integration. Another important factor in this construction of meaning was the rescue of situations similar to those experienced within the game. The player seems to use collaborative strategies among the other participants to understand the discourse and he does it in an ecological way, adapting to the ever-changing situations provided by the narrative activity of the RPG.
