Abstract
The cognitive information processing system is a key cognitive mechanism that enables both the perception of the world through experience, as well as its creation, among others by creating new mental objects. The literary work is an excellent area of research due to the fact that it contains the implementation and examples of the functioning of the human cognitive apparatus. The article deals in particular with the theory of amalgam as a cognitive system of formulating meanings. The conducted analysis concerns mainly the recognition in a literary work of the types of mental operations taking place in the process of their production. A literary example to be analyzed will be the Gothic novel Castle in Otranto by Horace Walpole.
