This course provides a gentle introduction to Cognitive Linguistics, a discipline that studies the mind through language and language as a cognitive function. Central themes covered include categorisation, metaphor, image schemas, mental spaces, the mental lexicon, grammar as conceptualisation and the representation of language in the mind. Drawing on insights from text analysis, language acquisition, psycholinguistic experimentation and neurolinguistic evidence, the course gives students an understanding of the relationship between linguistic structure, thought and embodied human experience.
