Whether these frameworks can or should stabilize into a unified theory is open to debate. One set of contributions to the volume focuses on evidence that strengthens the basic tenets of CL concerning e.g. non-modularity, meaning, and embodiment. A second set of chapters explores the expansion of the general CL paradigm and the incorporation of theoretical insights from other disciplines and their methodologies – a development that could lead to competing and mutually exclusive theories within the CL paradigm itself. The authors are leading experts in cognitive grammar, cognitive pragmatics, metaphor and metonymy theory, quantitative corpus linguistics, functional linguistics, and cognitive psychology. This volume is therefore of great interest to scholars and students wishing to inform themselves about the current state and possible future developments of Cognitive Linguistics. 05 This book is a much-needed and timely addition to the fast-growing multidisciplinary endeavor of the field, representing both state-of-the-art research and cutting-edge studies in cognitive linguistics proper and its expansion into other fields of inquiry. Zhen-qiang Fan, Zhejiang Gongshang University, P.R. China, on Linguist List 23.2247 (2012) 05 This volume offers a superb collection of fourteen articles on a wide range of interrelated topics within cognitive linguistics. Living fully up to its ambitious title, the book is based upon the keynote talks and papers presented at the “Converging and Diverging Tendencies in Cognitive Linguistics” conference, held in Dubrovnik (Croatia) in 2005, as well as a couple of papers that have been commissioned specifically for the present volume. Therefore, the six years that have elapsed between the conference and the publication of the book was definitively worth the wait, as the editors have managed to compile a volume that provides an excellent snapshot of where cognitive linguistics is right now, but at the same time also offers a glimpse into what the future might hold for cognitive linguistic research. [...] This book is a manifestation of the fact that cognitive linguistics is indeed ready and willing to expand, and can only benefit by the process, as expansion (resting on past convergences) can lead to future convergences. With this timely and widely applicable volume the editors have managed to compile a thought–provoking, yet highly enjoyable book that will serve as reference for plenty of linguists – within and outside of the cognitive linguistic paradigm – for years to come.

It presents the historical and intellectual context leading to its emergence as a reaction against generativism and extreme modularism. The chapter describes the main theoretical and methodological tenets of CL (non-modularism, non-objectivist, blueprint view of linguistic meaning, emphasis on prototype categorization, the inseparability of experience-based encyclopedic knowledge from linguistic knowledge, embodiment, emphasis on constructions as form-meaning pairings), its main research areas (construction grammars, lexico-semantic networks, and conceptual metaphor and metonymy and blending), its impressive results and applications in these areas, and its main problems and possible future development (greater integration with current research on cognition, giving weight to actual use and to the social and cultural dimension of language, among others). 10 01 JB code hcp.32.06pa2 Section header 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part 2.

Steen Steen, Gerard J. Gerard J. Steen Free University, Amsterdam 01 This chapter suggests that metaphor research can benefit from a clearer description of the field of research. Three dimensions of doing metaphor research are distinguished: metaphor can be studied as part of grammar or usage, it can be studied as part of language or thought, and it can be studied as part of sign systems or behavior. When these three dimensions are crossed, eight distinct areas of research emerge that have their own assumptions about metaphorical meaning, which have their own implications and consequences for the aims and evaluation of research. It is suggested that these distinctions will help in clarifying the validity of claims about the role of conceptual metaphor in language. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.09pan 87 114 28 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Emotion and desire in independent complement clauses</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case study from German</Subtitle> 1 A01 Klaus-Uwe Panther Panther, Klaus-Uwe Klaus-Uwe Panther University of Hamburg 2 A01 Linda L. Thornburg Thornburg, Linda L. Linda L. Thornburg Independent researcher 01 We advocate the use of theoretical tools from both cognitive linguistics and contemporary pragmatics to analyze complement clause constructions that are syntactically dependent but independent in terms of their illocutionary force, as exemplified in English by <i>That it should have come to this!</i> Such apparent mismatches between syntactic form and illocutionary function raise important questions about how much of meaning is compositional and how much is inferential, i.e. to be derived through metaphoric, metonymic and/or pragmatic elaboration. The focus of this study is on German complement clauses headed by the complementizer <i>dass</i>, but data from other languages are also adduced, attesting to the fact that this speech act construction is not an isolated and quirky phenomenon restricted to one language. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.10bel 115 150 36 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Schematic meaning of the Croatian verbal prefix <i>iz-</i></TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Meaning chains and syntactic implications</Subtitle> 1 A01 Branimir Belaj Belaj, Branimir Branimir Belaj University of Osijek 01 In contrast to the traditional approach where all verbs with the same prefix form a cluster of homonymic relations, this chapter proposes a single underlying schematic meaning as more or less common to all such verbs. Although these verbs differ in their more specific individual meanings, on the schematic level they form a category motivated by the single superschema. The schematic meaning of the Croatian verbal prefix <i>iz-</i> and its allomorphs <i>is-</i>, <i>i&#353;-</i>, <i>i&#382;-</i>, <i>i-</i> and <i>iza-</i> (jointly referred to as <i>iz-</i>) is best characterized as &#8216;<i>transition from an intralocative to an extralocative position</i>&#8217;. Its semantic span runs from prototypical to peripheral cases, and is defined by the conceptual status and relations among the agentive trajector, trajector and landmark. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.11bar 151 178 28 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The conceptual motivation of bahuvrihi compounds in English and Spanish</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">conceptual motivation of bahuvrihi compounds in English and Spanish</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Antonio Barcelona Barcelona, Antonio Antonio Barcelona University of Córdoba 01 This chapter investigates a representative sample of English and Spanish bahuvrihi compounds (BCs). The main thesis is that, although BCs are motivated by the overriding metonymy characteristic property for category, the property itself can be conceptualized &#8220;literally&#8221; (as in <i>humpback</i> or <i>dos piezas</i>), metonymically (as in <i>acidhead</i> or <i>simpecado</i>), or metaphtonymically, with two major types and several subtypes (<i>fathead, cabeza cuadrada, featherweight, caradura</i>). The analysis is followed by a brief discussion of the connection between the semantics of BCs and their grammatical and prosodic form, and by some remarks on the contrasts between the two languages. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.12lan 179 218 40 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">On the subject of impersonals</TitleText> 1 A01 Ronald W.

Langacker University of California, San Diego 01 In accordance with basic principles of Cognitive Grammar, impersonal it (e.g. <i>It&#8217;s obvious that he&#8217;s angry</i>) is claimed to be meaningful. Three avenues of approach are followed in the characterization of <i>it</i> and the constructions it appears in: a comparison with related constructions; a comparison to other pronouns; and examination of a basic cognitive model called the &#8220;control cycle&#8221;. This broad perspective leads to a unified account in which the meaning of impersonal <i>it</i> is a special case of the general semantic value of this pronoun. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.13pa3 Section header 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part 3.

Gibbs, Jr. Gibbs, Jr., Raymond W. Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. University of California, Santa Cruz 2 A01 Luciane Corrêa Ferreira Corrêa Ferreira, Luciane Luciane Corrêa Ferreira Federal Universty of Rio Grande do Sul 01 One of the central claims of conceptual metaphor theory is that metaphorical mappings from source to target domains express a rich set of correspondences or entailments. We present the results of a psychological experiment that suggests people can recognize certain metaphorical inferences about a target domain as being appropriate when they read metaphorical statements. Moreover, when people read verbal metaphors about a target domain, they see other metaphorical entailments from different conceptual metaphors as being less appropriate. These data are reasonably consistent with certain claims of conceptual metaphor theory, yet more empirical studies are needed to examine the conditions under which people actually generate entailments motivated by underlying conceptual metaphors during ordinary language use. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.15gri 237 256 20 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Corpus data in usage-based linguistics</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">What&#8217;s the right degree of granularity for the analysis of argument structure constructions?</Subtitle> 1 A01 Stefan Th. Gries Gries, Stefan Th. Stefan Th. Gries University of California, Santa Barbara 01 The use of corpus data in cognitive linguistics brings with it a host of methodological problems. One concerns the degree of granularity that provides the most insightful results. The present study investigates two granularity issues &#8211; different inflectional forms and (register-)based corpus parts. First, I compare the results of a lemma-based corpus analysis of an English argument structure construction to an inflectional-form-based corpus analysis to determine whether the two approaches result in different suggestions concerning the semantics of the construction at issue. Second, I outline how to determine whether data from different corpus parts/registers result in different semantic generalizations of the same construction and how relevant corpus distinctions can be determined in an objective bottom-up manner. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.16ste 257 290 34 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Cognitive linguistics meets the corpus</TitleText> 1 A01 Anatol Stefanowitsch Stefanowitsch, Anatol Anatol Stefanowitsch University of Hamburg 01 A first empirical turn in cognitive linguistics (CL) occurred in the mid&#8211;1990s, when researchers began to apply psycholinguistic methods to CL research questions, which quickly gained widespread acceptance in the field. More recently, a number of CL researchers have turned to corpus-linguistic methods, but these are not yet widely accepted. This is surprising, given the strong commitment in the CL community to &#8216;usage-based&#8217; models of language. In this paper, I take up a number of ideas from construction grammar and cognitive linguistics and confront them with corpus data and corpus methods in order to show how such data may be used to address cognitive linguistic research issues that are difficult or impossible to address in other ways. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.17tis 291 304 14 Article 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Oops blush!</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Beyond metaphors of emotion</Subtitle> 1 A01 Heli Tissari Tissari, Heli Heli Tissari University of Helsinki 01 In this chapter I relate the metonymic, embodied basis of emotion metaphors, illustrated, for example, by Zolt&#225;n K&#246;vecses&#8217;s research in the 1980s and 1990s, to the concept of affect as discussed in a tradition founded by Silvan Tomkins. I focus on Tomkins&#8217;s claim that the responses of the body to stimulation constitute the affect itself. This can be seen as a challenge to the theory of conceptual metaphor: to what extent are emotion metaphors actually metaphorical, or is Tomkin&#8217;s claim itself a metaphor? Instead of attempting to resolve this puzzle, attention is given to shame in particular, in order to illustrate how work on conceptual metaphors and an understanding of affect as a fundamentally embodied phenomenon might cross-fertilize each other. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.18har 305 324 20 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Conceptual construal and social construction</TitleText> 1 A01 Peter Harder Harder, Peter Peter Harder University of Copenhagen 01 This chapter focuses on what happens when &#8220;emerged&#8221; concepts acquire a role in the social process: where concepts go, rather than where they come from. Conceptual construal is seen as the mind-internal end of a process that also involves social &#8216;construction&#8217;. The relationship is discussed in relation to an evolutionary approach to language change (Croft 2000), and the discussion emphasizes the role of causal power as criterial for the distinction between conceptual and social constructions. The framework is contrasted with analysis in terms of &#8216;discourses&#8217; and analysis in terms of &#8216;framing&#8217; and is illustrated by an analysis of the so-called &#8216;cartoon crisis&#8217;, a salient example of how social processes involving contested concepts raise interesting conceptual as well as social-constructional issues. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.19kov 325 354 30 Article 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The biblical story retold</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">biblical story retold</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">A cognitive linguistic perspective</Subtitle> 1 A01 Zoltán Kövecses Kövecses, Zoltán Zoltán Kövecses Loránd Eötvös University, Budapest 01 In this chapter I offer one, or a small set of, possible interpretation(s) of the basic story of the Bible. I suggest that the symbolic meaning of the story derives in large part from conceptual structures and conceptual mechanisms that are shared by a large number of speakers of English and other languages belonging to the European cultural sphere. My claim is that a large part of the dominant features of Christianity can be understood on the basis of people&#8217;s everyday conceptual system and that the understanding of these features does not require an entirely independently existing conceptual apparatus that is somehow unique to the interpretation of the sacred. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.20nam 355 358 4 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code hcp.32.21nam 359 362 4 Miscellaneous 21 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20111110 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027223869 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 95.00 EUR R 01 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 143.00 USD S 646008555 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code HCP 32 Hb 15 9789027223869 13 2011027130 BB 01 HCP 02 1387-6724 Human Cognitive Processing 32 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Cognitive Linguistics</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Convergence and Expansion</Subtitle> 01 hcp.32 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/hcp.32 1 B01 Mario Brdar Brdar, Mario Mario Brdar University of Osijek 2 B01 Stefan Th.

The focus of this study is on German complement clauses headed by the complementizer <i>dass</i>, but data from other languages are also adduced, attesting to the fact that this speech act construction is not an isolated and quirky phenomenon restricted to one language. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.10bel 115 150 36 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Schematic meaning of the Croatian verbal prefix <i>iz-</i></TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Meaning chains and syntactic implications</Subtitle> 1 A01 Branimir Belaj Belaj, Branimir Branimir Belaj University of Osijek 01 In contrast to the traditional approach where all verbs with the same prefix form a cluster of homonymic relations, this chapter proposes a single underlying schematic meaning as more or less common to all such verbs. Although these verbs differ in their more specific individual meanings, on the schematic level they form a category motivated by the single superschema. The schematic meaning of the Croatian verbal prefix <i>iz-</i> and its allomorphs <i>is-</i>, <i>i&#353;-</i>, <i>i&#382;-</i>, <i>i-</i> and <i>iza-</i> (jointly referred to as <i>iz-</i>) is best characterized as &#8216;<i>transition from an intralocative to an extralocative position</i>&#8217;. Its semantic span runs from prototypical to peripheral cases, and is defined by the conceptual status and relations among the agentive trajector, trajector and landmark. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.11bar 151 178 28 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The conceptual motivation of bahuvrihi compounds in English and Spanish</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">conceptual motivation of bahuvrihi compounds in English and Spanish</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Antonio Barcelona Barcelona, Antonio Antonio Barcelona University of Córdoba 01 This chapter investigates a representative sample of English and Spanish bahuvrihi compounds (BCs). The main thesis is that, although BCs are motivated by the overriding metonymy characteristic property for category, the property itself can be conceptualized &#8220;literally&#8221; (as in <i>humpback</i> or <i>dos piezas</i>), metonymically (as in <i>acidhead</i> or <i>simpecado</i>), or metaphtonymically, with two major types and several subtypes (<i>fathead, cabeza cuadrada, featherweight, caradura</i>). The analysis is followed by a brief discussion of the connection between the semantics of BCs and their grammatical and prosodic form, and by some remarks on the contrasts between the two languages. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.12lan 179 218 40 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">On the subject of impersonals</TitleText> 1 A01 Ronald W. Langacker Langacker, Ronald W. Ronald W. Langacker University of California, San Diego 01 In accordance with basic principles of Cognitive Grammar, impersonal it (e.g. <i>It&#8217;s obvious that he&#8217;s angry</i>) is claimed to be meaningful. Three avenues of approach are followed in the characterization of <i>it</i> and the constructions it appears in: a comparison with related constructions; a comparison to other pronouns; and examination of a basic cognitive model called the &#8220;control cycle&#8221;. This broad perspective leads to a unified account in which the meaning of impersonal <i>it</i> is a special case of the general semantic value of this pronoun. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.13pa3 Section header 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part 3.

Gibbs, Jr. Gibbs, Jr., Raymond W. Raymond W. Gibbs, Jr. University of California, Santa Cruz 2 A01 Luciane Corrêa Ferreira Corrêa Ferreira, Luciane Luciane Corrêa Ferreira Federal Universty of Rio Grande do Sul 01 One of the central claims of conceptual metaphor theory is that metaphorical mappings from source to target domains express a rich set of correspondences or entailments. We present the results of a psychological experiment that suggests people can recognize certain metaphorical inferences about a target domain as being appropriate when they read metaphorical statements. Moreover, when people read verbal metaphors about a target domain, they see other metaphorical entailments from different conceptual metaphors as being less appropriate. These data are reasonably consistent with certain claims of conceptual metaphor theory, yet more empirical studies are needed to examine the conditions under which people actually generate entailments motivated by underlying conceptual metaphors during ordinary language use. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.15gri 237 256 20 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Corpus data in usage-based linguistics</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">What&#8217;s the right degree of granularity for the analysis of argument structure constructions?</Subtitle> 1 A01 Stefan Th. Gries Gries, Stefan Th. Stefan Th. Gries University of California, Santa Barbara 01 The use of corpus data in cognitive linguistics brings with it a host of methodological problems. One concerns the degree of granularity that provides the most insightful results. The present study investigates two granularity issues &#8211; different inflectional forms and (register-)based corpus parts. First, I compare the results of a lemma-based corpus analysis of an English argument structure construction to an inflectional-form-based corpus analysis to determine whether the two approaches result in different suggestions concerning the semantics of the construction at issue. Second, I outline how to determine whether data from different corpus parts/registers result in different semantic generalizations of the same construction and how relevant corpus distinctions can be determined in an objective bottom-up manner. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.16ste 257 290 34 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Cognitive linguistics meets the corpus</TitleText> 1 A01 Anatol Stefanowitsch Stefanowitsch, Anatol Anatol Stefanowitsch University of Hamburg 01 A first empirical turn in cognitive linguistics (CL) occurred in the mid&#8211;1990s, when researchers began to apply psycholinguistic methods to CL research questions, which quickly gained widespread acceptance in the field. More recently, a number of CL researchers have turned to corpus-linguistic methods, but these are not yet widely accepted. This is surprising, given the strong commitment in the CL community to &#8216;usage-based&#8217; models of language. In this paper, I take up a number of ideas from construction grammar and cognitive linguistics and confront them with corpus data and corpus methods in order to show how such data may be used to address cognitive linguistic research issues that are difficult or impossible to address in other ways. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.17tis 291 304 14 Article 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Oops blush!</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Beyond metaphors of emotion</Subtitle> 1 A01 Heli Tissari Tissari, Heli Heli Tissari University of Helsinki 01 In this chapter I relate the metonymic, embodied basis of emotion metaphors, illustrated, for example, by Zolt&#225;n K&#246;vecses&#8217;s research in the 1980s and 1990s, to the concept of affect as discussed in a tradition founded by Silvan Tomkins. I focus on Tomkins&#8217;s claim that the responses of the body to stimulation constitute the affect itself. This can be seen as a challenge to the theory of conceptual metaphor: to what extent are emotion metaphors actually metaphorical, or is Tomkin&#8217;s claim itself a metaphor? Instead of attempting to resolve this puzzle, attention is given to shame in particular, in order to illustrate how work on conceptual metaphors and an understanding of affect as a fundamentally embodied phenomenon might cross-fertilize each other. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.18har 305 324 20 Article 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Conceptual construal and social construction</TitleText> 1 A01 Peter Harder Harder, Peter Peter Harder University of Copenhagen 01 This chapter focuses on what happens when &#8220;emerged&#8221; concepts acquire a role in the social process: where concepts go, rather than where they come from. Conceptual construal is seen as the mind-internal end of a process that also involves social &#8216;construction&#8217;. The relationship is discussed in relation to an evolutionary approach to language change (Croft 2000), and the discussion emphasizes the role of causal power as criterial for the distinction between conceptual and social constructions. The framework is contrasted with analysis in terms of &#8216;discourses&#8217; and analysis in terms of &#8216;framing&#8217; and is illustrated by an analysis of the so-called &#8216;cartoon crisis&#8217;, a salient example of how social processes involving contested concepts raise interesting conceptual as well as social-constructional issues. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.19kov 325 354 30 Article 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The biblical story retold</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">biblical story retold</TitleWithoutPrefix> <Subtitle textformat="02">A cognitive linguistic perspective</Subtitle> 1 A01 Zoltán Kövecses Kövecses, Zoltán Zoltán Kövecses Loránd Eötvös University, Budapest 01 In this chapter I offer one, or a small set of, possible interpretation(s) of the basic story of the Bible. I suggest that the symbolic meaning of the story derives in large part from conceptual structures and conceptual mechanisms that are shared by a large number of speakers of English and other languages belonging to the European cultural sphere. My claim is that a large part of the dominant features of Christianity can be understood on the basis of people&#8217;s everyday conceptual system and that the understanding of these features does not require an entirely independently existing conceptual apparatus that is somehow unique to the interpretation of the sacred. 10 01 JB code hcp.32.20nam 355 358 4 Miscellaneous 20 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code hcp.32.21nam 359 362 4 Miscellaneous 21 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20111110 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 01 245 mm 02 164 mm 08 820 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 55 14 01 02 JB 1 00 95.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 100.70 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 14 02 02 JB 1 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 14 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 143.00 USD
