Conventional blend

A cognitive entity that while having emerged via the dynamic processes of conceptual integration has nevertheless become relatively well established in a particular linguistic community.

Consequently, the blend is not reconstructed each time it is prompted for but is conventionalized as a 'pre-assembled' cognitive routine. An example of a conventional blend is the grim reaper blend discussed in the entry for megablend.
