Cognitive Linguistics, the branch of linguistics that tries to
"make one's account of human language accord with what is generally
known about the mind and the brain," has become one of the most
flourishing fields of contemporary linguistics. The chapters
address many classic topics of Cognitive Linguistics. These topics
include studies on the semantics of specific words (including
polysemy and synonymy) as well as semantic characteristics of
particular syntactic patterns / constructions (including
constructional synonymy and the schematicity of constructions), the
analysis of causatives, transitivity, and image-schematic aspects
of posture verbs. The key characteristic of this volume is that all
papers adopt the methodological perspective of Corpus Linguistics,
the rapidly evolving branch of linguistics based on the
computerized analysis of language used in authentic settings. Thus,
the contributionsdo not only all provide various new insights in
their respective fields, they also introduce new data as well as
new corpus-based and quantitative methods of analysis. On the basis
of their findings, the authors discuss both theoretical
implications going well beyond the singular topics of the studies
and show how the discipline of Cognitive Linguistics can benefit
from the rigorous analysis of naturally-occurring language. The
languages which are investigated are English, German, Dutch, and
Russian, and the data come from a variety of different corpora. As
such, the present volumewill be of interest to a wide range of
scholars with many different foci and interests and should pave the
way for further integration of usage-based techniques of analysis
within this exciting paradigm.
