This volume presents a synthesis of cognitive linguistic theory and
research on first and second language acquistion, language
processing, individual differences in linguistic knowledge, and on
the role of multi-word chunks and low-level schemas in language
production and comprehension. It highlights the tension between
"linguists' grammars", which are strongly influenced by principles
such as economy and elegance, and "speakers' grammars", which are
often messy, less than fully general, and sometimes inconsistent,
and argues that cognitive linguistics is an empirical science which
combines study of real usage events and experiments which
rigorously test specific hypotheses.
