The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics (Oxford Handbooks) 1st Edition by Dirk Geeraerts (PDF)

Description

The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics presents a comprehensive overview of the main theoretical concepts and descriptive/theoretical models of Cognitive Linguistics, and covers its various subfields, theoretical as well as applied.The first twenty chapters give readers the opportunity to acquire a thorough knowledge of the fundamental analytic concepts and descriptive models of Cognitive Linguistics and their background. The book starts with a set of chapters discussing different conceptual phenomena that are recognized as key concepts in Cognitive Linguistics: prototypicality, metaphor, metonymy, embodiment, perspectivization, mental spaces, etc. A second set of chapters deals with Cognitive Grammar, Construction Grammar, and Word Grammar, which, each in their own way, bring together the basic concepts into a particular theory of grammar and a specific model for the description of grammatical phenomena. Special attention is given to the interrelation between Cognitive and Construction Grammar. A third set of chapters compares Cognitive Linguistics with other forms of linguistic research (functional linguistics, autonomous linguistics, and the history of linguistics), thus giving a readers a better grip on theposition of Cognitive Linguistics within the landscape of linguistics at large.The remaining chapters apply these basic notions to various more specific linguistic domains, illustrating how Cognitive Linguistics deals with the traditional linguistic subdomains (phonology, morphology, lexicon, syntax, text and discourse), and demonstrating how it handles linguistic variation and change. Finally they consider its importance in the domain of Applied Linguistics, and look at interdisciplinary links with research fields such as philosophy and psychology.With a well-known cast of contributors from around the world, this reference work will be of interest to researchers and advanced students in (cognitive) linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, and anthropology.

Editorial Reviews: Review “The editors have brought together contributions from many of the world’s leading cognitive linguists. The overviews that these scholars provide are authoritative, lucid, and highly informative, and, like all good surveys, are not mere summaries but also offer useful syntheses and critiques of the relevant research. [the Handbook] is unique in its depth and breadth of coverage, and is therefore destined to become a standard reference in the field.” –Language About the Author Dirk Geeraerts is Professor of Linguistics at the University of LeuvenHubert Cuyckens is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Leuven

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐In short, this book goes through every key notions in Cognitive grammar, from thoughts on L1 and L2 acquisition to theories of semantic frames.It is not a specialized book as such, but more of a “go-to book”

⭐the book’s content is awesome. the Kindle formatting looks like a bad mimeograph.reading books on a screen is hard enough. charging nearly 40 dollars for mimeograph quality typeface and sub par formatting?if this is what the print book looks like as well, the publisher needs to try again. in the mean time, lower the kindle book version of this title to 2 dollars.

⭐Ótima introdução à linguística cognitiva.It’s a fundamental book to understand cognitive linguistics and its application. Really well done! I found all the information I was looking for.
