COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS IN ACTION GEBUNDEN

In view of the considerable number of recent publications devoted to various applications of
Cognitive Linguistics  the book focusses on fields that have not been extensively dealt with
within the CL framework. The book gathers presentations that deal with fields of application as
defined in the introduction to the first volume in the ACL series (Kristiansen et al 2006). The
articles in the first section (From loop to cycle) are defining papers written by eminent
scholars whose position within the field of CL has been firmly established. They touch upon
issues of continuing relevance to the discipline and introduce thematic areas covered in the
next four sections of the volume. Papers in these sections are mainly written by young scholars
whose research illustrates various ways to implement the cycle through different forms of
contextualization  either presenting descriptive applications that lead to theoretical
amendments or widening the field of possible applications  often interdisciplinary  e.g. to
theological or metaphysical discourse. Frequently  section papers provide illustration for the
empirical turn in Cognitive Linguistics  demonstrating the ways in which application of theory
to new data using new methodologies leads to refinement  development or modification of the
theoretical framework.The book is of relevance to students of (applied) linguistics  interested
or specializing in language acquisition and pedagogy  intercultural communication  literary and
translation studies  as well as to academics and students representing cognate disciplines.
