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 the position 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.
