Abstract
Description
Cognitive Linguistics argues that language is governed by general cognitive principles, rather than by a special-purpose language module. This introductory text-book surveys the field of cognitive linguistics as a distinct area of study, presenting its theoretical foundations and the the arguments supporting it.
