This textbook is designed for advanced (graduate and postgraduate)
students, and will also be of interest to scholars. It blends a
cognitive linguistic approach to language and language use with
insights from contemporary pragmatics, the ultimate aim being to
advance a unified model of cognitive pragmatics. Basic themes in
cognitive linguistics and pragmatics are covered ranging from
figurative language and thought, e.g. conceptual metaphor and
metonymy, the role of inferencing in the construction of meaning,
in particular, indirect speech acts, to the conceptual and
functional motivation of morphosyntactic structure. Finally, the
book offers many suggestions and ideas for student papers as well
as larger research projects that promise to reveal new insights
into conceptual structure, communicative function, and their
influence on the grammatical structure of language.
