AB Now that the new Cognitive Paradigm has strongly developed the hypothesis that language rests on the capacity of symbolic thought, we will theoretically reflect here on the need for a revision of the organization and particularly of the realistic management of English literary lessons in Spanish higher education. We will approach a possible solution to this need under a comprehensive prism on language that cognitive psychologist Christopher Sinha (2007:1287) poses as the basic proposition which unites many subscribers to the scientific program of 2nd generation Cognitive Studies of Language: "language can best be made sense of by recognizing that it is structurally and functionally continuous with, motivated by, and emergent from non-linguistic cognitive processes." On these basis, this paper aims at outlining a higher-educational overture where an initial realistic awareness of the disparities in the biocultural counterintuitive conceptual processes taking place at the pre-linguistic and pre-conceptual levels of backstage cognition in the minds of English authors and Spanish teachers and students, (as linguistically expressed in the original texts) can help us all to make our English Literature Studies (ELS) in the Spanish university a social activity successful in the end in the context of the European Higher Education.
