Grammar and Conceptualization

by Ronald W. Langacker

Overview

Grammar and Conceptualization documents some major developments in the theory of cognitive grammar during the last decade. By further articulating the framework and showing its application to numerous domains of linguistic structure, this book substantiates the claim that lexicon, morphology, and syntax form a gradation consisting of assemblies of symbolic structures (form-meaning pairings).

Editorial Reviews

"The author manages to persuade the reader about the assets of cognitive grammar. He does so in an excellent academic style, which does not shun an occasional touch of humor that enlivens the exposition of high-flown theory or description."
Antonio Barcelona in: Cognitive Linguistics
