APPLIED CONSTRUCTION GRAMMAR KARTONIERT (TB)

Honorary editor: René Dirven The series Applications of Cognitive Linguistics (ACL) welcomes
book proposals from any domain where the theoretical insights developed in Cognitive
Linguistics (CL) have been (or could be) fruitfully applied. In the past thirty-five years  the
CL movement has articulated a rich and satisfying view of language around a small number of
foundational principles. The first one argues that language faculties do not constitute a
separate module of cognition  but emerge as specialized uses of more general cognitive
abilities. The second principle emphasises the symbolic function of language. The grammar of
individual languages (including the lexicon  morphology  and syntax) can be exclusively
described as a structured inventory of conventionalized symbolic units. The third principle
states that meaning is equated with conceptualization. It is subjective  anthropomorphic  and
crucially incorporates humans' experience with their bodies and the world around them. Finally
CL's Usage-Based conception anchors the meaning of linguistic expressions in the rich soil of
their social usage. Consequently  usage-related issues such as frequency and entrenchment
contribute to their semantic import. Taken together  these principles provide researchers in
different academic fields with a powerful theoretical framework for the investigation of
linguistic issues in the specific context of their particular disciplines. The primary focus of
ACL is to serve as a high level forum for the result of these investigations.
