Cognitive Linguistics
Abstract
Cognitive linguistics is a broad movement in linguistics whose main unifying ideas are to put meaning (= conceptualization) at the center of language description, and to make language description realistic from a cognitive point of view. This entry outlines the major approaches that are relevant to linguistic anthropology, maps out their differences, samples some exemplary work, and discusses current and future trends.
