It provides a forum for researchers from different theoretical backgrounds and different areas of interest that share a commitment to the systematic and exhaustive analysis of naturally occurring language. Contributions from all theoretical frameworks are welcome but they should be addressed at a general audience and thus be explicit about their assumptions and discovery procedures and provide sufficient theoretical background to be accessible to researchers from different frame-works.

Broccias, and A. Sansò (eds.). 2005. Modelling thought and constructing meaning. Cognitive models in interaction. Milan: FrancoAngeli. ***Book description*** Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is a robust linguistic paradigm which analyses language in relation to other cognitive domains and faculties such as bodily and mental experiences, image schemas, perception, attention, memory, viewing frames, categorisation, abstract thought, emotion, reasoning, inferencing, etc. This volume opens with René Dirven's overview of five major strands in CL, which broadly correspond to the five sections into which this collection of 15 papers is divided. Addressing a number of issues (such as, among others, metaphor and metonymy, constructions, blending, embodiment, semantic maps, and point of view), the contributions in this volume show that CL has become a "burgeoning linguistic paradigm" (R. Dirven), and exemplify what it may contribute to paradigms that are conceptually compatible with it (as e.g. functional and typological linguistics). ***Table of Contents*** Annalisa Baicchi, Foreword Annalisa Baicchi, Cristiano Broccias, Andrea Sansò, Introduction RENE' DIRVEN, Major strands in Cognitive Linguistics Part I.
