"Cognitive Linguistics: Basic Readings" is specifically designed
for an introductory course in Cognitive Linguistics. It brings
together twelve foundational articles by leading figures in the
field, each of which introduces one of the basic concepts of
Cognitive Linguistics, like conceptual metaphor, image schemas,
mental spaces, construction grammar, prototypicality and radial
sets. The collection is supported by an introduction to the theory
and, specifically, the practice of Cognitive Linguistics and by
trajectories for further reading that start out from the individual
chapters. Key features include: Each of the twelve articles
introduces one of the basics concepts of the cognitive linguistics;
contributions by reknown linguistics (George Lakoff, Ron Langacker,
Len Talmy, Gilles Fauconnier, Charles Filmore) and influential
younger scholars; specifically designed for an introductory course
in cognitive linguistics, currently one of the most broadly
appealing and dynamic frameworks for the study of natural language;
helps students and beginning researchers through the addition of a
general introduction to the theory and, specifically, the practice
of cognitive linguistics, and through the specification of
trajectories for further reading.
