This second edition of the bestselling textbook provides up-to-date
coverage of all areas of the field. As well as being fully revised
and updated throughout to reflect the most recent developments in
the field (including coverage of the neural theory of language
paradigm and the latest cognitive semantic and constructional
approaches to language and the mind), this second edition also
includes: A brand new section exploring New-Horizons in Cognitive
Linguistics covering advancements in the field including linguistic
relativity, English language teaching and bilingualism, cognitive
sociolinguistics and cognitive humanities. An innovative new
chapter entitled Key Topics in Language Science exploring the
'burning questions' in language science such as the relationship
between human language and non-human communication systems, whether
there are language universal etc. A new chapter dedicated to
Research Methods in Cognitive Linguistics exploring the range of
methodologies, the research areas, data and questions and offering
an evaluation of their relative merits. This will include hands on
check list of the research cycle for students who seek to apply
cognitive linguistics in their own research projects and
dissertations. While all topics are introduced in terms accessible
to both undergraduate and postgraduate students, this work is
sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to serve as a reference
work for scholars from linguistics and neighbouring disciplines who
wish to gain a better understanding of cognitive linguistics. The
book is divided into four parts and is therefore suitable for a
range of different course types, both in terms of length and level,
as well as in terms of focus. In addition to defining the field,
the text also includes appropriate critical evaluation.
Complementary and potentially competing approaches are explored
both within the cognitive approach and beyond it. For example
conceptual metaphor theory is compared and contrasted with
conceptual blending theory in terms of methodology, assumptions,
scope and phenomena.
