REPETITIONS IN GESTURE

A Cognitive-Linguistic and Usage-Based Perspective

Based on a corpus-analysis of multimodal usageevents, 7 chapters explore gestural repetitions with regard to their structure, semantic and syntactic relevance for multimodal utterances, and cognitive saliency. It is concluded that gestural repetitions are not only a basic principle of building patterns in spoken and signed languages, but also in gestures.

MOVING ACROSS LANGUAGES

Motion Events in Spanish as a Second Language

The book analyzes the complex relationship between languages in the bilingual mind. Specifically, the focus is placed on motion event typology and the acquisition of Spanish as a second language. By carefully examining inter- and intra-typological differences between Spanish, German, French and Italian, the author reveals interesting cross-linguistic transfer processes at work in second language acquisition.

LINGUISTIC TABOO REVISITED

Novel Insights from Cognitive Perspectives

NOW IN PAPERBACK

COGNITIVE CONTACT LINGUISTICS

Placing Usage, Meaning and Mind at the Core of Contact-Induced Variation and Change

NOW IN PAPERBACK

This volume makes a case for Cognitive Contact Linguistics as a framework excellently suited to the integration of psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic inquiry of the bi- and multilingual mind. Oriented more towards exploration than towards specialization, the volume presents ten papers that together illustrate the wide range of research that can ensue from the interaction of Contact Linguistics and Cognitive Linguistics.

WHAT IT TAKES TO TALK

Exploring Developmental Cognitive Linguistics

This book puts cognition (back) at the heart of the language learning process and challenges the idea that language acquisition can be meaningfully understood as a purely linguistic phenomenon. The new discipline of developmental cognitive linguistics explores the idea that language is constructed, and constrained, by the rich social and cognitive world of the child.
