This book argues that language is a network of concepts which in
turn is part of the general cognitive network of the mind. It
challenges the widely-held view that language is an innate mental
module with its own special internal organization. It shows that
language has the same internal organization as other areas of
knowledge such as social relations and action schemas, and reveals
the rich links between linguistic elements and contextual
categories. Professor Hudson presents a new theory of how we learn
and use our knowledge of language. He puts this to work in a series
of extended explorations of morphology, syntax, semantics, and
sociolinguistics. Every step of his argument and exposition is
illustrated with examples, including the kind mainstream theory
finds it hard to analyse. He introduces the latest version of his
influential theory of Word Grammar and shows how it can be used to
explain the operations of language and as a key to understanding
the associated operations of the mind.
