There is, in general, a significant relation between linguistics and psychology. Among the linguistic studies, Cognitive Linguistics has special interest in issues that are more prototypically linked to psychology. On the other hand, among the psychological models, the one that has most strongly influenced Cognitive Linguistics was the Gestalt Theory. This paper aims at making explicit some aspects of this epistemological affiliation, more specifically, the appropriation by Cognitive Linguistics, by means of concepts and notions, of the following Gestalt propositions: (a) perception is basic for other cognitive processes; (b) the parts are not primary to the perception of the whole and (c) perception is governed by the principle of selective attention. Therefore, this paper aims at making explicit some aspects of this epistemological affiliation. © Cien. Cogn. 2011; Vol. 16 (2): 065-081
