Abstract:

The cognitive theory of mental spaces and conceptual integration (MSCI) is
a twenty-year-old, cross-disciplinary enterprise that presently unfolds in
academic circles on many levels of reflection and research. One important
area of inquiry where MSCI can be of immediate use is in the pragmatics of
written and spoken discourse and interaction. At the same time, empirical
insights from the fields of interaction and discourse provide a necessary
fundament for the development of the cognitive theories of discourse. This
collection of seven chapters and three commentaries aims at evaluating and
developing MSCI as a theory of meaning construction in discourse and
interaction. MSCI will benefit greatly not only from empirical support but
also from clearer refinement of its methodology and philosophical
foundations. This volume presents the latest work on discourse and
interaction from a mental spaces perspective, surely to be of interest to a
broad range of researchers in discourse analysis.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
