Cognitive Linguistics Croft&Cruse 1: Introduction: what is cognitive linguistics?

Three hypotheses guide Cognitive Linguistics: Language is not an autonomous cognitive facility Grammar is conceptualization Knowledge of language emerges from language use [These three hypotheses present alternatives to generative syntax and truth-conditional semantics]

Language is not an autonomous cognitive facility Corollaries: Linguistic knowledge – the knowledge of meaning and form – is conceptual structure. This means that semantic, syntactic, morphological, and phonological representation is conceptual. The cognitive processes that govern language are the same as other cognitive abilities. The component cognitive skills are not unique to language.

Language is not an autonomous cognitive facility Implications for research: Cognitive linguistics aims to demonstrate that language can be adequately modeled using general conceptual structures and cognitive abilities There is a serious attempt to ensure that cognitive linguistic models comport well with results of research in cognitive psychology

Grammar is conceptualization Conceptual structure cannot be reduced to a truth-conditional correspondence with the world. Human beings conceptualize their experience, and all aspects of conceptual structure are subject to construal. Grammatical inflections and constructions play a major role in construing experience.

Knowledge of language emerges from language use Categories and structures in semantics, syntax, morphology and phonology are built up from our cognition of specific utterances on specific occasions of use. [I would argue that this is both an inductive and an abductive process, not just inductive…]
