query about research on folk theories of language

[Johanna Rubba]

Hi all,

I am looking for sources on the role of such phenomena as basic-level
cognition, prototype categorization, schemas and cognitive models, and
such in folk theories about language -- "the people's metalinguistics".
I'm concerned about structure more than function in this case (please
don't accuse me of separating the two).

Thanks in advance -- I'll compile a list if anyone is interested.

Jo
