Liebert Wolf-Andreas, Redeker Gisela, Waugh Linda (Editors). Discourse and Perspective in Cognitive Linguistics

John Benjamins, 1997. — xiv, 271 pages. — (Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 151). — ISBN: 90-272-3655-0; 1-55619-866-3.While cognitive models, perspective, and the construction of situated meaning have always been core concepts in Cognitive Linguistics, genuinely pragmatic approaches have long been lacking. Cognitive Linguistics research focused on grammar and semantics during the last two decades, but recently, pragmatic approaches have gained more and more interest, and "Discourse" and "Perspective" have become pivotal terms in today's Cognitive Linguistics.This volume is a compilation of current research in this area. A wide variety of discourse phenomena is covered from a Cognitive Linguistics' point of view, including the use and interpretation of metaphors, modal expressions, focus particles, tag questions, indirect speech acts, and iconographie textual references, but also cognitive processes involved in discourse production.The contributions to this volume are organized in the three clusters:"Cognition, Perspective, and Modality in Discourse",
"Metaphors and Metonymy in Discourse",
"Correlates of Discourse Structure".The contributions are based on papers read at the 4th bi-annual International Cognitive Linguistics Conference held in Albuquerque, University of New Mexico, from July 16 to 21, 1995. Together with its companion volumes "Lexicon and Grammar in Cognitive Linguistics" and "Cultural, Psycholinguistic, and Typological Approaches in Cognitive Linguistics," this collection provides an overview of the broad range of cognitive linguistic approaches in the mid-nineties.Cognition, Perspective, and Modality in Discourse
