De Gruyter Mouton Cognitive Foundations of Linguistic Usage Patterns: Empirical Studies: 13 (Applications of Cognitive Linguistics [ACL], 13)

Product Description There is an increasing awareness in linguistics that linguistic patterns can be explained with recourse to general cognitive processes. The contributions collected in this volume pursue such a usage-based cognitive linguistic approach by presenting empirical investigations of lexical and grammatical patterns and probing into their implications for the relations between language structure, use and cognition.
