Abstract:

The volume offers a number of representative papers on cognitive
models that are invoked when people deal with questions of social
identity, political and economic manipulation, and more general issues
such as the genomic discourse.

The volume shows that Cognitive Linguistics has further explored the
idea that we think about social reality in terms of models -
'cognitive/cultural models' or 'folk theories'. The book demonstrates
that the technical apparatus of Cognitive Linguistics can be used to
analyze the various ways our conception of social reality is shaped by
underlying cognitive and/or cultural models or patterns of thought,
and also looks into how this is done. The new inroad the volume wants
to pursue is the deliberate and explicit orientation towards a
cognitive sociolinguistics, or more generally, a cognitive semiotics.
