In this course we will:
• Discuss of a number of influential papers to trace the origin and development of the cognitive approach to language description and to become familiar with its underlying principles and the most important basic concepts and terminology.
• Discuss a number of topics of special interest for cognitive linguistics, such as conceptual structure and organization, the relationship between language and thought, the experiential and pragmatic background of language-in-use, the issue of embodiment, figurative language (metaphor and metonymy), prototypicality and systematic polysemy
• Apply the theory of Cognitive Grammar (as developed by Ronald Langacker) to some core areas of the English language.
• Discuss a number of other major approaches in Cognitive GrammarThe aim of this course is to acquaint students with the basic principles of Cognitive Linguistics, as well as with some of the most important cognitive models and approaches, so that they:
• have a broad overview of the paradigm of Cognitive Linguistics and some of the major cognitive approaches
• can apply one of these models to (certain areas of) the English language.
