Description

Cognitive Grammar is a comprehensive theory of language that has been evolving since the late 1970s. At its core lies the idea that language is inherently symbolic, providing speakers with tools to connect phonological structures with semantic ones.

John R. Taylor introduces this theory in the context of current debates about linguistic knowledge and relates it to broader trends in cognitive linguistics. The central concepts are explained in clear, accessible language, and applied to in-depth discussions of various topics in semantics, syntax, morphology, and phonology.

The book includes numerous study questions to facilitate further exploration of the theory's applications, making it a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the nature of linguistic knowledge and its connections to cognitive psychology.
