It highlights the tension between “linguists’ grammars”, which are strongly influenced by principles such as economy and elegance, and “speakers’ grammars”, which are often messy, less than fully general, and sometimes inconsistent, and argues that cognitive linguistics is an empirical science which combines study of real usage events and experiments which rigorously test specific hypotheses.Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics12.Cognitive grammarCognitive grammar.415Dąbrowska Ewa688785MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792832603321Ten lectures on grammar in the mind3863732UNINA
