Bøker i Distinguished Lectures in Cogn-serien

In Ten Lectures on Construction Grammar and Typology, William Croft presents a unified theory of linguistic form and meaning that encompasses crosslinguistic diversity, verbalization and language change.

These lively lectures introduce the theory, practice and application of a versatile, rigorous and non Anglocentic approach to cross-linguistic semantics. Topics include semantic primes and molecules, emotions, evaluation, verbs and event structure, cultural key words and scripts, language teaching.

Martin Hilpert lays out how Construction Grammar is applied to the study of language change. In a series of ten lectures, the book presents the theory and methods that inform the constructional analysis of diachronic linguistic processes.
