Abstract
The book under review – Cognitive Linguistics. Internal Dynamics and Interdisciplinary Interaction edited by Francisco Ruiz de Mendoza and Sandra Peña, the 32nd release in the Cognitive Linguistics Research Series - does justice to its title since it offers detailed and multifaceted accounts of how the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics gathers intra- and interdisciplinary evidence which sheds light onto the centrality of the cognitive commitment in current research. The selection of papers collected in the volume is based on the editors’ aim to testify “to the great tolerance of Cognitive Linguistics towards internal variety and towards external interaction with major linguistic discipline and subdisciplines”.
