Book Overview
An Introduction to Cognitive Linguistics carefully explains the central concepts of categorization, of prototype and gestalt perception, of basic level and conceptual hierarchies, of figure and ground, and of metaphor and metonymy, for which an innovative description is provided. It also brings together issues such as iconicity, lexical change, grammaticalization and language teaching that have profited considerably from being put on a cognitive basis.

In the field of linguistics...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I'm currently enrolled in a linguistics class at Tulane University, and we had to read this book so as to give us a cognitivist perspective on semantic theory. It is a well-written book with very helpful exercises to illustrate various experiments performed by linguists and psychologists.
