Abstract:

This volume is the product of a Columbia School Linguistics Conference held
at Rutgers University in October 1999, where the plenary speaker was Ronald
W. Langacker, a founder of Cognitive Linguistics. The goal of the book is
to promote two kinds of dialogue. First, dialogue between Cognitive Grammar
and the particular sign-based approach to language known as the Columbia
School. While they share certain basic assumptions, the "maximalist" CG and
the "minimalist" CS differ both theoretically and methodologically. Given
that philosophers from Mill to Kuhn to Feyerabend have stressed the
importance to any discipline of dialogue between opposing views, the
dialogue begun here cannot fail to bear fruit. The second kind of dialogue
is that among several sign-based approaches themselves and also between
them and two competitors: grammaticalization theory and generic
functionalism. Topics range from phonology to discourse. Analytical
problems are taken from a wide range of languages including English,
German, Guarani, Hebrew, Hualapai, Japanese, Korean, Macedonian, Mandarin,
Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Urdu, and Yaqui.
