Abstract:

This volume explores the benefits of grounding corpus-assisted discourse
analysis within the theoretical framework of cognitive linguistics. This is
accomplished here against the highly emotive controversy over the teaching of
evolution in the US classroom. The book explores grammatical construal,
conceptual metaphor theory, conceptual blending theory, frame semantics, and
key word analysis, and uses a combination of corpus-based analysis and
in-depth manual analysis of select articles. As such, it provides both a broad
picture of the way the debate is conceptualized in the US press, as well as a
close-up of some of the more representative discourses. This research will be
of interest to scholars in a variety of fields including corpus linguistics,
cognitive linguistics, discourse analysis, communication studies and American
culture, as well as anyone interested in the debate over evolution education.
