New Directions in Cognitive Linguistics
Nearly three decades since the publication of the seminal "Metaphors We Live By," Cognitive Linguistics is now a mature theoretical and empirical enterprise, with a voluminous associated literature. It is arguably the most rapidly expanding school in modern linguistics, and one of the most exciting areas of research within the interdisciplinary project known as cognitive science. As such, Cognitive Linguistics is increasingly attracting a broad readership both within linguistics as well as from neighbouring disciplines including other cognitive and social sciences, and from disciplines within the humanities. This volume contains over 20 papers by leading experts in cognitive linguistics which survey the state of the art and new directions in cognitive linguistics. The volume is divided into 5 sections covering all the traditional areas of study in cognitive linguistics, as well as newer areas, including applications and extensions. Sections include: Approaches to semantics; Approaches to metaphor and blending; Approaches to grammar; Language, embodiment and cognition; Extensions and applications of cognitive linguistics."
Quantitative Methods in Cognitive Semantics: Corpus-Driven Approaches
In line with the increasing use of empirical methods in Cognitive Linguistics, the current volume explores the uses of quantitative, in particular corpus-driven, techniques for the study of meaning. It shows how these techniques contribute to the core theoretical issues of Cognitive Semantics as well as how they inform semantic analysis. The research presented in the volume constitutes an important step towards an Empirical Cognitive Semantics.
Constructional Change in English
Is construction grammar a useful framework for the study of language change? Hilpert combines the current linguistic theory of construction grammar with advanced corpus-based methodology in order to study language change in a new way. This new perspective has wide-ranging consequences for the way historical linguists think about language change.
Grammatical theory
This book introduces formal grammar theories that play a role in current linguistic theorizing (Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar/Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, Tree Adjoining Grammar). The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to ...
Frequency Effects in Language Representation
The volume explores the relationship between well-studied aspects of language (constructional alternations, lexical contrasts and extensions and multi-word expressions) in a variety of languages (Dutch, English, Russian and Spanish) and their representation in cognition as mediated by frequency counts in both text and experiment. The state-of-the-art data collection (ranging from questionnaires to eye-tracking) and analysis (from simple chi-squared to random effects regression) techniques allow to draw theoretical conclusions from (mis)matches between different types of empirical data. The sister volume focuses on language learning and processing.
Das Funktionsverbgefüge in der Linguistik. Definitionen, Interpretationen und semantische Übergänge
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,3, Universität Potsdam (Institut für Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Komplexe Prädikate im Gegenwartsdeutschen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Hausarbeit ist es, das Konzept der Funktionsverbgefüge (FVG) in der Linguistik zu erforschen und zu klären. FVG, bestehend aus einem Verb und einem Substantiv, sind komplexe sprachliche Konstruktionen, bei denen das Verb oft seine semantische Bedeutung verliert und das Substantiv die semantische Hauptlast trägt. Dieser Prozess wird durch verschiedene linguistische Ansichten dargestellt, wobei die Bedeutung des Verbes stark abgeschwächt wird, während die des Substantivs hervorgehoben wird. Die Arbeit untersucht die fließenden Übergänge und Unschärfen in der Definition von FVG, von der strengeren Interpretation von Peter Eisenberg, der FVG als Kombination eines Funktionsverbs und einer Präpositionalgruppe sieht, bis zur weit gefassten Definition von Helbig und Buscha, die FVG als Prädikat bilden, das aus einem Funktionsverb und einem beliebigen nominalen Bestandteil besteht.
