Cognitive linguistics subsumes diverse theoretical approaches
sharing a compatible outlook: namely that language reflects the
interaction of social, cultural, psychological, communicative, and
functional considerations that can be understood only in the
context of cognitive development and processing. The editors have
organized 27 papers presented at the Third International
Linguistics Conference held in the summer of 1993 in Louvain,
Belgium, into six somewhat overlapping groupings off theoretical
issues concerning the bridges between generative and cognitive
linguistics; lexical semantics and morphology (e.g. Langacker
semantics for select Coeur d'Alene prefixes); metaphor (one title
is "Why metaphor matters: or linguistics meets the geopolitics of
law"); syntax and semantics (focusing on Samoan, Spanish, and
Swedish); pragmatics (nominal vs. temporal interpretation); and
Holmqvist on computational linguistics.
