Cognitive grammar views language as an integral fact of cognition and claims that grammatical structure cannot be understood or revealingly described independently of semantic considerations. It argues that grammar forms a continuum with the lexicon and is reducible to symbolic relationships (i.e. form-meaning pairings), and consequently that all valid grammatical constructs have some kind ofCognitive linguistics research ;1.Cognitive grammarGrammar, Comparative and generalCognitive grammarGrammarLanguage and languagesCognitive grammar.Grammar, Comparative and general.Cognitive grammar.Grammar.Language and languages.415Langacker Ronald W191620AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910785846103321Concept, image, and symbol1296064UNINA
