Cognitive Linguistics: Current Applications and Future Perspectivesis an up-to-date survey of recent research in Cognitive Linguistics and its applications by prominent researchers. The volume brings together generally accessible syntheses and special studies of Cognitive Linguistics strands in a sizable format and is thus an asset not only to the Cognitive Linguistics community, but also to neighbouring disciplines and linguists in general. The volume covers a wide range of fields and combines wide accessibility with a highly specific information value.

Key features:

  • Authoritative and detailed survey articles by leading scholars in the field.
  • Accessible to a general audience, yet also characterized by a highly specific information value.
