This volume makes accessible a substantial range of recent research in Cognitive Grammar. Building from fundamentals, it brings fresh insight to the analysis of varied grammatical phenomena. Topics considered in depth include constructions, grounding, clause structure, and complex sentences. The book is of interest to anyone concerned with the conceptual basis of meaning and linguistic structure.

Does temporal language depend on spatial language? Many parallels between spatial and temporal expressions, and many examples of metaphorical processes, seem to prove this. But how are expressions such as before and after, in front and behind actually used in natural discourse — does their application reflect a conceptual dependency relation?

The book addresses this question from an innovative perspective, drawing together earlier findings from various directions and supplementing them by empirical investigations. Gradually a new picture emerges: The concepts of space and time are represented in language usage in various systematic ways, reflecting how we understand the world- and at the same time reflecting how our concepts of space and time differ fundamentally.

Cognitive Linguistics is becoming increasingly oriented towards the social dimension. This book describes this development and discusses some central issues for the emerging socio-cognitive synthesis. Mapping out the territory from individual embodied meaning to discourse struggles, it suggests principles for an analysis of the relation between conceptual and social processes.

Volume 1 is concerned with the interaction between language, cognition and acquisition in general (first and second language acquisition). The papers in this volume have been arranged according to three major strings, namely (i) cognitive approaches to the English tense system; (ii) facets of prototypes in grammatical constructions; and (iii) neurocognitive and cognitive issues of language acquisition in general.

Volume 2 focuses on second or foreign language learning and its pedagogy. The contributions in this volume approach language pedagogy in various ways, each of which highlights different aspects in which CL theory may be useful when applied to foreign language instruction. It is striking that various papers deal with some of the most intractable problems in foreign language learning, such as phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, phraseology, metaphor and word derivation. Almost all the papers in the present volume deal with idiomatic layers in the languages.

A union of Cognitive Linguistics and Sociolinguistics was bound to happen. Both proclaim a usage-based approach to language and aim to analyse actual language use in objective ways. Whereas Sociolinguistics is by nature on the outlook for language in its variety, Cognitive Linguistics can no longer afford to ignore social variation in language as it manifests itself in the usage data. Nor can it fail to adopt empirical methodology that reflects variation as it actually occurs, beyond the limited knowledge of the individual observer. Conversely, while Cognitive Linguistics can only benefit from a heightened sensitivity to social aspects, the rich, bottom-up theoretical framework it has developed is likely to contribute to a much better understanding of the meaning of variationist phenomena.

The volume brings together fifteen chapters written by prominent scholars testifying of rich empirical and theoretizing research into the social aspects of language variation. Taking a broad view on Cognitive Sociolinguistics the volume covers three main areas: corpus-based research on language variation, cognitive cultural models, and the ideologies of sociopolitical and socioeconomic systems.

Cognitive Linguistics: Current Applications and Future Perspectives is an up-to-date survey of recent research in Cognitive Linguistics and its applications by prominent researchers. The volume brings together generaly accessible syntheses and special studies of Cognitive Linguistics strands in a sizable format and is thus an asset not only to the Cognitive Linguistics community, but also to neighbouring disciplines and linguists in general. The volume covers a wide range of fields and combines wide accessibility with a highly specific information value.

The book gathers papers delineating new perspectives for Cognitive Linguistics research. While prominent scholars demonstrate how application can inform theory, their younger colleagues prove the value of CL methodologies in novel applications. The book is also of use to scholars of other disciplines, such as discourse and translation studies, theology, rhetoric, speech therapy and so forth.

This volume offers a state-of-the-art collection of studies in the rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of cognitive poetics. In coupling cognitive linguistics and poetics, cognitive poeticians aim to offer cognitive readings of literary texts. By bringing together key players and critics in a setting of interdisciplinary dialogue this volume captures the goals, gains and gaps of this emerging field.

The volume assesses and supplements Cognitive Linguistics (CL) proposals for instructed second language acquisition. CL research can help identify language elements that merit explicit teaching. The effectiveness of CL-inspired additions to the currently available armoury of teaching methods is put to the test in classroom experiments.

Metaphor pervades discourse and may govern how we think and act. But most studies only discuss its verbal varieties. This book examines metaphors drawing or combinations of visuals, language, gestures sound, and music. Investigated texts include advertising, political cartoons, comics, film songs, and oral communication. Where appropriate, the influence of genre and cultural factors is thematized.
