This book focuses on matching theoretical predictions about language and cognition against empirical language data. The contributions use corpus linguistics methodology for their analysis. The contributors evaluate a variety of themes from combining syntax, semantics, discourse, terminology, to cognitive linguistics with the techniques and quantitative methods related to linguistic data processing.

Recenzje

«The edited volume brings together a variety of papers from diverse corpus linguistic methodologies on various aspects of cognitive science and cognitive linguistics. As the introduction states, it is a valuable contribution and step forward in the understanding of how the use of empirical data can inform theoretical predictions about the relationship between language and cognition.»
