COGNITIVE LINGUISTIC EXPLORATIONS IN BIBLICAL S...

Writing  reading  and interpretation are acts of human minds  requiring complex cognition at
every point. A relatively new field of studies  cognitive linguistics  focuses on how language
and cognition are interconnected: Linguistic structures both shape cognitive patterns and are
shaped by them. The Cognitive Linguistics in Biblical Interpretation section of the Society of
Biblical Literature gathers scholars interested in applying cognitive linguistics to biblical
studies  focusing on how language makes meaning  how texts evoke authority  and how
contemporary readers interact with ancient texts. This collection of essays represents first
fruits from the first six years (2006 2012) of that effort  drawing on cognitive metaphor study
mental spaces and conceptual blending  narrative theory  and cognitive grammar. Contributors
include Eve Sweetser  Ellen van Wolde  Hugo Lundhaug and Jesper T. Nielsen.
