Abstract:

This book reviews the basic claims and descriptive constructs of Cognitive
Grammar, outlines major themes in its ongoing development, and applies these
notions to central problems in grammatical analysis. The initial review covers
conceptual semantics, the conceptual characterization of grammatical
categories, grammatical constructions, and the architecture of a unified
theory of language structure. Main themes in the framework’s development
include the dynamicity of language structure, grammar as the implementation of
semantic functions, systems of opposing elements to serve those functions, and
organization in strata representing successive elaborations of a baseline
structure. The descriptive application of these notions centers on nominal and
clausal structure, with special emphasis on nominal grounding.

This book has appeared as part of a new series with lectures from Eminent
Linguists on Cognitive Linguistics. For other volumes that have appeared or
