The Routledge Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics provides a
comprehensive introduction and essential reference work to
cognitive linguistics. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives
and approaches, covering all the key areas of cognitive linguistics
and drawing on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in
pragmatics, discourse analysis, biolinguistics, ecolinguistics,
evolutionary linguistics, neuroscience, language pedagogy, and
translation studies. The forty-three chapters, written by
international specialists in the field, cover four major areas: *
Basic theories and hypotheses, including cognitive semantics,
cognitive grammar, construction grammar, frame semantics, natural
semantic metalanguage, and word grammar; * Central topics,
including embodiment, image schemas, categorization, metaphor and
metonymy, construal, iconicity, motivation, constructionalization,
intersubjectivity, grounding, multimodality, cognitive pragmatics,
cognitive poetics, humor, and linguistic synaesthesia, among
others; * Interfaces between cognitive linguistics and other areas
of linguistic study, including cultural linguistics, linguistic
typology, figurative language, signed languages, gesture, language
acquisition and pedagogy, translation studies, and digital
lexicography; * New directions in cognitive linguistics,
demonstrating the relevance of the approach to social, diachronic,
neuroscientific, biological, ecological, multimodal, and
quantitative studies. The Routledge Handbook of Cognitive
Linguistics is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and
postgraduate students, and for all researchers working in this
area.
