Book Synopsis

Providing an engaging, accessible and practically-focused introduction to cognitive grammar, this book demonstrates how central cognitive grammar principles can be used in stylistic analyses. Assuming no prior knowledge, it leads students through the basics of cognitive grammar, outlining its place within the field of cognitive linguistics as a whole, providing clear explanations of key principles and concepts, and explaining how these can be used to support the study of a range of literary and non-literary texts.

Thoroughly updated throughout to encompass emerging trends in the field, this second edition features:

- Increased exploration of a range of topics, including specificity and definiteness, scanning, perfective and imperfective verbs, action chains, and subjective and objective construal
- A brand new chapter on extended projects in cognitive grammar
- Additional activities, including on a wider range of literary texts
