Assumptions and Commitments
- Cognitive linguistics is built on two main commitments:
- The "Generalisation Commitment": Language structures are generalizations of human experience.
- The "Cognitive Commitment": Language is a cognitive phenomenon and is studied within a broader cognitive framework.
- Embodied cognition and experiential realism are central to the theory, believing that language is deeply rooted in bodily experiences.
Universals and Variation in Language
- Cognitive linguistics investigates universals in thought and language, considering typological universals, formal linguistics universals, and universals within cognitive linguistics.
- It analyzes cross-linguistic patterns in the semantic representation of concepts like space and time, emphasizing consistency in how humans conceive of these.
- Cognitive linguistics studies cross-linguistic variations, recognizing that despite general patterns, languages vary in the specifics of how they represent concepts.
- Whorf's Linguistic Relativity Principle is explored, examining how language might shape thought.
- The book examines how cognitive linguistics handles the relationship between language, thought, and experience, contrasting that to different approaches.
