(COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS RESEARCH 1)
This research monograph develops and illustrates an innovative theory
of linguistic structure, called "cognitive grammar", and applies it to
representative phenomena in English and other languages. Cognitive
grammar views language as an integral facet of cognition and claims
that grammatical structure cannot be understood or revealingly
described independently of semantic considerations. It argues that
grammar forms a continuum with the lexicon and is reducible to
symbolic relationships (i.e. form-meaning pairings), and consequently
that all valid grammatical constructs have some kind of conceptual
import.
"Langacker [...]has been one of the most productive and visible of the
cognitive linguistic theorists, and one of the most influential in
bringing linguistics as a discipline into line with the compelling
work of the other cognitive theorists in social science fields." (Eve
Sweetser and Patricia Hunt in Semiotica)
"The most coherent and detailed body of research in 'cognitive
linguistics'" (H. Stephen Straight and Matthew T. Davidson in
International Studies in Philosophy)
