Cognitive linguists are bound by the cognitive commitment, which is
the commitment to providing a characterization of the general
principles governing all aspects of human language, in a way that
is informed by, and accords with, what is known about the brain and
mind from other disciplines. But what do we know about aspects of
cognition that are relevant for theories of language? Which
insights can help us build cognitive reality into our descriptive
practice and move linguistic theorizing forward? This unique study
integrates research findings from across the cognitive sciences to
generate insights that challenge the way in which frequency has
been interpreted in usage-based linguistics. It answers the
fundamental questions of why frequency of experience has the effect
it has on language development, structure and representation, and
what role psychological and neurological explorations of core
cognitive processes can play in developing a cognitively more
accurate theoretical account of language.
