Abstract:

This volume links Cognitive Grammar explanations to the area of
second-language learning and instructed grammar teaching. It represents a
contribution to empirically based knowledge promoting a new perspective on the
process of teaching and learning about English language structures. The
theoretical part of the book provides an overview of the basic tenets of
Cognitive Grammar, and discusses elements of the theory that are of crucial
importance for understanding English tense and aspect structures. The second
part brings together these two fields of study and tests a Cognitive Grammar
approach to teaching tense and aspect to less advanced learners of English. To
this end, an experimental study was conducted, comparing the effects of
Cognitive Grammar-inspired instruction on the language learning process with
those of teaching methods which employ more traditional grammatical
descriptions. As such, the book is of particular relevance to Cognitive
Grammar research, and second-language learning and teaching research, and for
learners and teachers of a foreign language.
