The purpose of this book is to explore the overlapping area of
study that discourse linguists and cognitive linguists are
interested in. In doing so, the volume contributes to bridging the
gap between these two large groups of linguists who share an
interest in discourse processing but approach the area from very
different perspectives and frames of reference. The starting point
of this volume is text and discourse. The book includes an overview
section and a number of carefully selected contributions which
highlight central issues in the study of text and discourse
attempting to give them cognitive explanations. In responding to
the current interest in the area of discourse and cognition, the
volume has adopted a wide scope which allows its individual
chapters to focus on textual and situational contexts as well as
the context of culture and society at large. The volume also
provides its readership with a useful selection of methods used in
the studies which form the basis of its chapters. The
contributions, all by established linguists with highest
qualifications, present new findings which have important
theoretical implications. They offer unique and fresh analyses of
central discourse phenomena in cognitive light and revealing
discussions of the avenues opened to us at this stage of the
development of the study of discourse and cognition. This
accessible research volume will be essential reading for scholars
and advanced students of linguistics and languages.
