Abstract:

This introduction to cognitive grammar takes a cognitive linguistic
approach to an important area of language study, linking grammatical
structure to cognitive processes. With a focus on cognitive syntax, it
provides students with the analytical tools needed to understand and
apply core cognitive principles to real-world linguistic data,
bridging the gap between theory and practice.
The author delves into the fundamental concepts of cognitive grammar,
such as conceptual semantics and construal, and analyses various
aspects of language structure, including simple and complex temporal
and atemporal relations. He offers an in-depth exploration of how
language structure is shaped by our cognitive processes, investigating
how language reflects general aspects of cognition and is influenced
by our mental and sociocultural experiences. As well as engaging with
examples and exercises that reinforce key concepts and encourage
critical thinking, this comprehensive guide:
- explains the principles of cognitive grammar and how they are
applied to understand language structure and meaning
- familiarises students with key concepts in cognitive grammar
- introduces the theories behind language cognition
- elaborates on principles for effective analysis of grammatical
structures
- equips students with the tools to analyse language structures and
understand the techniques used to interpret them.
Exploring Cognitive Grammar in English is an essential resource for
mastering cognitive grammar, offering students a comprehensive and
practical guide to understanding the cognitive underpinnings of
language.
