The collection of Alan Cienki’s \u003ci\u003eTen Lectures on Spoken Language and Gesture from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics\u003c\/i\u003e considers what it means to apply different approaches from within this field to the dynamic, multimodal combination of speech and gesture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lectures encompass such main paradigms as blending and mental space theory, conceptual metaphor and metonymy, construction and cognitive grammars, image schemas, and mental simulation in relation to semantics. Overall, Alan Cienki shows that taking the usage-based commitment seriously with audio-visual data raises new issues and questions for theoretical models in cognitive linguistics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lectures for this book were given at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cifcl.buaa.edu.cn\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe China International Forum on Cognitive Linguistics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in May 2013.","brand":"Alan Cienki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274009129211,"sku":"9789004332096","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_f652696c-eabc-4a46-b79b-3f1a79cba095.jpg?v=1773738856","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ten-lectures-on-spoken-language-and-gesture-from-the-perspective-of-cognitive-linguistics-9789004332096","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
