Cognitive Linguistics is an approach to the scientifc study of language that endeavours to explain facts about language in terms of known properties and mechanisms of other dimensions of the human mind/brain. While earlier cognitive approaches to language were based on philosophical thinking about the mind, recent work places special importance on securing convergent evidence from a broad empirical basis, e.g. using samples of unrelated languages and employing methods from cognitive sciences such as (Neuro-) Psychology and Computer Science.
Advances in Cognitive Linguistics provides a central outlet for the best new work by both established and younger scholars in this rapidly moving feld. The series welcomes theoretical and empirical work on language and cognition.
The series publishes work that promotes innovative approaches to Cognitive Linguistics in the form of works of reference, scholarly monographs and coherent edited collections.
