This research monograph develops and illustrates an innovative
theory of linguistic structure, called "cognitive grammar," and
applies it to representative phenomena in English and other
languages. Cognitive grammar views language as an integral facet of
cognition and claims that grammatical structure cannot be
understood or revealingly described independently of semantic
onsiderations. It argues that grammar forms a continuum with the
lexicon and is reducible to symbolic relationships (i.e.
form-meaning pairings), and consequently that all valid grammatical
constructs have some kind of conceptual import. The coherence and
descriptive potential of cognitive grammar are exemplified by
application to a broad variety of grammatical phenomena drawn from
numerous languages.
