The special issue of The Linguistic Review on “The Role of Linguistics in Cognitive Science” presents a variety of viewpoints that complement or contrast with the perspective offered in Foundations of Language (Jackendoff 2002a). The present article is a response to the special issue. It discusses what it would mean to integrate linguistics into cognitive science, then shows how the parallel ar...

metaphor is a subject that has attracted the attention of theorists from different sciences of eloquency, linguistics, philosophy and etc. cognitive school is one of the schools which pays a specific attention to metaphor. cognitive semantics is a branch steming from cognitive school that defines any kinds of cognition and dectaving of       abstract concepts in the from of more concrete concep...

The analysis of metaphors is a classical research theme in linguistics, but has received very little attention in psychological research so far. Metaphor analysis—as conceptualized in cognitive linguistics—is proposed here as a qualitative method for psychological research for several reasons. Metaphors are culturally and socially defined, yet they also represent a basic cognitive strategy of a...

In many theoretical and applied areas of computational linguistics researchers operate with a notion of linguistic distance or, conversely, linguistic similarity, which is the focus of the present workshop. While many CL areas make frequent use of such notions, it has received little focused attention, an honorable exception being Lebart & Rajman (2000). This workshop brings a number of these s...

In modern cognitive linguistics, the “concept”, which is increasingly used as a term by researchers dealing with problems of linguistic representation cognitions, becomes main ground. The processes related to knowledge and information are called cognitivism. From point view cognitivism, person studied an processing system, human behavior described explained in terms its internal states. These s...

Cognitive Linguistics has been widely used to deal with the ambiguity generated by words in combination. Although this domain offers many solutions to address this challenge, not all of them can be implemented in a computational environment. The Dynamic Construal of Meaning framework is argued to have this ability because it describes an intrinsic degree of association of meanings, which in tur...
