The article features the compositional semantics of phrasal verbs that denote a cognitive activity, as well as the interaction between their conceptual structure and the particle. The conceptual structures of these components can be described as mental schemes, e.g., a container with a certain vector of cognitive projection, and a number of subtypes. The compositional semantics of phrasal verbs of cognitive activity revealed that the interaction between the conceptual structure of the verb and the particle is a cognitive mechanism that develops its semantics. The container metaphor is based on the semantic potential of the verbal component and such particles as in, out, and through. These particles are usually combined with verbs of movement, physical activity, and perception. As part of phrasal verbs of mental activity, they realize the following prototypical concepts: the subject / object of the action gets into / penetrates into the container, is out / outside of the container, or crosses the border of the container, respectively. The role of the container belongs not to real objects, but to abstract entities, e.g., memory, consciousness, attention, feelings, thoughts, etc., as well as various physical and mental states or situations in which objects are immersed.

El artículo adoptó investigación exploratoria cualitativa, realizada con base al estudio de caso de Praia do Forte, un destino turístico localizado en la costa Brasileña. Fueron usados datos secundarios y entrevistas en profundidad con residentes locales, de modo a responder a la pregunta principal de investigación de como este destino podría seguir un camino de desarrollo turístico diferenciado y, como objetivo secundario, si el grado de desarrollo actual puede todavía ser considerado sustentable. Basado en una perspectiva de turismo sistémica, buscamos extender la visión de sustentabilidad para abarcar dimensiones socioculturales y ambientales según el modelo de Sachs (1986). Los resultados indican que tres factores parecen responder la pregunta.

This article adopts qualitative exploratory research, undertaken by means of a single-case study on Praia do Forte, a tourism destination located on the Brazilian coast. Use was made of second- ary data and in-depth interviews with local residents, to answer the research question of how this desti- nation could follow a path of tourism development in a way that differentiates it from similar ones; and, as secondary objective if the degree of current development can still be seen as sustainable. Based on a systematic perspective of tourism, we seek to extend the vision of development so as to include soci- ocultural and environmental dimensions of sustainability based on Sachs' (1986) model. The results indicate that three factors seem to answer the question.
