In view of the considerable number of recent publications devoted
to various applications of Cognitive Linguistics, the book focusses
on fields that have not been extensively dealt with within the CL
framework. The book gathers presentations that deal with fields of
application as defined in the introduction to the first volume in
the ACL series (Kristiansen et al 2006). The articles in the first
section ("From loop to cycle") are defining papers written by
eminent scholars whose position within the field of CL has been
firmly established. They touch upon issues of continuing relevance
to the discipline and introduce thematic areas covered in the next
four sections of the volume. Papers in these sections are mainly
written by young scholars, whose research illustrates various ways
to implement the cycle through different forms of
contextualization, either presenting descriptive applications that
lead to theoretical amendments or widening the field of possible
applications, often interdisciplinary, e.g. to theological or
metaphysical discourse. Frequently, section papers provide
illustration for the empirical turn in Cognitive Linguistics,
demonstrating the ways in which application of theory to new data
using new methodologies leads to refinement, development or
modification of the theoretical framework. The book is of relevance
to students of (applied) linguistics, interested or specializing in
language acquisition and pedagogy, intercultural communication,
literary and translation studies, as well as to academics and
students representing cognate disciplines.
