The Cognitive Basis of Grammar

Cover of Ronald W. Langacker: Concept, Image, and Symbol (PDF)

This classic research monograph develops and illustrates the theory of linguistic structure known as Cognitive Grammar, and applies it to representative phenomena in English and other languages. Cognitive grammar views language as an integral facet of cognition and claims that grammatical structure cannot be understood or revealingly described independently of semantic considerations.
