Abstract:

The total body of papers presented in this volume captures research across
a variety of languages and language groups, to show how particular elements
of linguistic description draw on otherwise separate aspects (or fields) of
linguistic investigation. As such, this volume captures a diversity of
research interest from the field of cognitive linguistics. These areas
include: lexical semantics, cognitive grammar, metaphor, prototypes,
pragmatics, narrative and discourse, computational and translation models;
and are considered within the contexts of: language change, child language
acquisition, language and culture, grammatical features and word order and
gesture. Despite possible differences in philosophical approach to the role
of language in cognitive tasks, these papers are similar in a fundamental
way: they all share a commitment to the view that human categorization
involves mental concepts that have fuzzy boundaries and are culturally and
situation-based.
