SUMMARY

Cognitive Linguistics is an approach to the scientific study of language
that endeavours to explain facts about language in terms of known
properties and mechanisms of other dimensions of the human mind/brain. 
While earlier cognitive approaches to language were based on philosophical
thinking about the mind, recent work places special importance on securing
convergent evidence from a broad empirical basis, e.g. using samples of
unrelated languages and employing methods from cognitive sciences such as
(Neuro-) Psychology and Computer Science.

Advances in Cognitive Linguistics will provide a central outlet for the
best new work by both established and younger scholars in this rapidly
moving field. The series welcomes theoretical and empirical work on
language and cognition. The series publishes work that promotes innovative
approaches to Cognitive Linguistics in the form of works of reference,
scholarly monographs and coherent edited collections.
