基本説明
This book shows that given the new findings of cognitive linguistics, it is possible to offer a unified account of not only linguistic meaning but also that of meaning in a wide variety of social and cultural phenomena. It is suggested that cognitive linguistics is a much more comprehensive enterprise than it is commonly taken to be by many - both inside and outside the field. Furthermore, it is claimed that the comprehensive account of meaning in many linguistic and cultural phenomena that the book presents is crucially based and dependent on cognitive capacities that human understanders and producers of language possess independently of their ability to use language.
