Kognitive Grammatik

Cognitive grammar transforms insights from the cognitive sciences into grammatical descriptions and attempts to use the grammar of natural languages to understand human thinking. The presentation is centred on the classical paradigms of Cognitive grammar as they have been developed from 1975 and later systematically expanded. The initial chapters deal with the questions of the nature of thought and how experiences are converted into language. Subsequent sections indicate the perspectives of how neurolinguistic insights can be deepened.
