♒️ Cognitive Linguistics: An Introduction
✍ Vyvyan Evans and Melanie Green
This book is a comprehensive and authoritative overview—a complete guide—to the cognitive linguistics enterprise. Cognitive linguistics is a contemporary and highly influential school of thought, encompassing the study of human language, mind, and social behaviour. The book surveys the primary theoretical commitments and guiding principles of the enterprise, and provides a thorough and engaging overview of the broad range of areas studied by cognitive linguistics, including all aspects of language, mind, as well as applications and extensions of cognitive linguistics to the study of text, literature, discourse, and society. The book focuses equally on presenting influential cognitive linguistic theories, as well as descriptive accounts of linguistic, psychological and behavioural phenomena; it also introduces the reader to methods and approaches deployed by cognitive linguistics in studying human language, mind and behaviour.
