Cognitive Linguistics

Cognitive Linguistics argues that language is governed by general cognitive prin-

ciples, rather than by a special-purpose language module. This introductory text-

book surveys the ﬁeld of cognitive linguistics as a distinct area of study, presenting

its theoretical foundations and the arguments supporting it. Clearly organized and

accessibly written, it provides a useful introduction to the relationship between

language and cognitive processing in the human brain. It covers the main top-

ics likely to be encountered in a course or seminar, and provides a synthesis of

study and research in this fast-growing ﬁeld of linguistics. The authors begin by

explaining the conceptual structures and cognitive processes governing linguis-

tic representation and behavior, and go on to explore cognitive approaches to

lexical semantics, as well as syntactic representation and analysis, focusing on

the closely related frameworks of cognitive grammar and construction grammar.

This much-needed introduction will be welcomed by students in linguistics and

cognitive science.

WILLIAM CROFT is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Manchester,

where he has taught since 1994. His primary areas of research are typology, cog-

nitive linguistics, construction grammar, language change and verbal semantics.

He has previously published in this series Typology and Universals , 1st edition

(1990), and 2nd edition (2003), and is also the author of Radical Construction

Grammar (2001).

D. ALAN CRUSE was Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at the University of

Manchester, until he retired in 2001. He taught semantics, pragmatics and

psycholinguistics, and his primary areas of research are lexical semantics and

metaphor. He has previously published in this series Lexical Semantics (1986),

and is also the joint editor of Handbook of Lexicology (2002).
