COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AS A METHODOLOGICAL PARADIGM

Alexander V. Kravchenko

Open publisher page 7 citations

Abstract

A general direction in which cognitive linguistics is heading at the turn of the century is outlined and a revised understanding of cognitive linguistics as a methodological paradigm is suggest. The goal of cognitive linguistics is defined as understanding what language is and what language does to ensure the predominance of homo sapiens as a biological species. This makes cognitive linguistics a biologically oriented empirical science.\n
