Abstract:

In the last 25 years foreign language teaching has been able to increase
its efficiency through an orientation towards authentic language materials,
pragmatic language functions and interactive learning methods. However, so
far foreign language teaching has lacked a sufficiently strong theoretical
framework to support the teaching of language in all its aspects. Arguably,
such a linguistic theory has to be usage-based and cognition-oriented.
Since cognitive linguistics - and especially cognitive grammar - is
concerned with conceptual issues against the larger background of human
cognition and because it is based on actual language use, it becomes a
powerful tool for dealing adequately with the main issues of a pedagogical
grammar. A pedagogical grammar aims at providing all the essential
linguistic patterns considered relevant by theoretical and descriptive
linguistics for the preparation of teaching materials and their
exploitation in foreign language instruction.

The volume contains thirteen contributions organized into three parts. In
Part 1 Langacker, Taylor and Broccias introduce the basic grammar concepts,
rules and models that are available in cognitive linguistics and which are
directly relevant to the construction of a pedagogical grammar. Meunier, on
the other hand, describes how such a grammar could benefit from corpus
linguistics. Part 2 looks at some cognitive tools and conceptual errors
with contributions by Danesi and Maldonado and also reconsiders contrastive
analysis in the papers by Ruiz de Mendoza and Valenzuela & Rojo. Part 3,
finally, discusses language-specific constraints on a number of linguistic
phenomena such as the construal of motion events (papers by Cadierno and De
Knop & Dirven), distinctions in the tense-aspect system (papers by Niemeier
& Reif and Schmiedtová & Flecken), and voice (Chen & Oller).

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep 
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2008/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
