The competition between noun-verb conversion and -ize derivation Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Heike Baeskow
The process of noun-verb conversion, which is highly productive in English, has been dealt with from a variety of theoretical perspectives. What is missing so far is a systematic analysis of conceptual-semantic factors which motivate this process and set it apart from another productive verb-formation process, namely -ize derivation. The present article is intended to fill this gap. While some conceptual-semantic

Cuanto(s) más datos, (tanto) mejor Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Jakob Horsch
The Spanish comparative correlative (CC) construction (Cuanto más leo, (tanto) más entiendo) has a complex syntactic structure and complex semantics. The syntactic relationship between its two subclauses has been subject to much debate. This study, the first large-scale (> 3,000 tokens) corpus investigation, explores various aspects and provides evidence for hypotaxis. However, statistical analysis

Capturing meaningful generalizations at varying degrees of resolution Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Francisco Gonzálvez-García
This article provides a principled constructionist account (Goldberg & Herbst, 2021) of the main characteristics of expressions like the following: (1) Juan es muy de (ir de) bares (‘Juan is very into (going to) bars’), and (2) Tu ayuda es muy de agradecer (‘Your help is very much appreciated’). Instances of this kind are best handled in terms of coercion between the intensifier and non-stative/non-gradable

Gradience in iconicity Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Nancy Chiagolum Odiegwu, Jesús Romero-Trillo
While it has largely been taken for granted by most linguists that the relationship between linguistic signifier and signified is arbitrary in nature, a growing number of studies suggest otherwise. In this article, we demonstrate that iconicity in total reduplicative constructions in Nigerian Pidgin is graded in nature, and that the degree of iconicity of any given reduplicative is largely correlated

Culture in a radically usage-based model of language change, with special reference to constructional attrition Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Dirk Noël
This article offers theoretical and programmatic reflection on how the impact of culture on language change should be accounted for from a radically usage-based diachronic construction grammatical perspective, with a focus on how cultural change can cause constructions to disappear from a language. It approaches this question through an assessment of how culture is incorporated in Schmid’s (2020)

A case for metonymic synesthesia Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-25 Máté Tóth
Verbal synesthesia is generally considered to be a special type of metaphor involving concepts stemming from distinct sensory domains. However, with the upsurge of metonymy research some authors have proposed a metonymic motivation for synesthetic expressions. In line with these proposals, I argue in my paper that (i) a considerable portion of synesthetic expressions are in fact metonymic and (ii)

The semantic mapping of the German spatial preposition JENSEITS Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Franka Kermer
The present study aims to investigate the semantic value of the German spatial preposition jenseits (‘beyond’). It is argued that our conceptualization of the spatial-physical world and how we interact with objects in our environment transforms a prepositions’ primary meaning into domains of meaning that are tied to time or social interactions. While the study of the semantic structure of English prepositions

Top-down and bottom-up approaches to teaching English verb-particle constructions Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Min-Chang Sung
The present study examines two cognitive linguistics approaches to foreign language teaching. One draws on the conventionality of language use that a variety of expressions can be understood as instances of more general patterns, e.g., kick them out and eat it up as verb-object-particle, whereas the other centers on linguistic creativeness such as novel combinations or associations, e.g., chest down

Move in a crowd Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Heng Li, Yu Cao
When spatializing time, individuals can either say that they walk towards the future as though time is a stationary landscape (called ego-moving perspective), or that the future time moves towards them (called time-moving perspective). A substantial body of experimental research has shown that people’s adoption of these two temporal perspectives may be malleable, influenced by a broad set of factors

Separation events in Mandarin, Russian and Korean Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Jing Du, Fuyin Thomas Li, Yanlei Ge, Jinkai Zhang
Crosslinguistic studies on motion events have revealed that S-languages demonstrate finer-grained lexical categories than V-languages in representing motion manners/gaits. But these studies were restricted to the semantic domain of motion events and confined to a limited number of S- or V- languages. In this paper, we further investigate whether the association between lexical diversity and language

An onomasiological competition Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-14 Vladimir Glebkin
An onomasiological competition between lexical units, in which they compete to name a certain object (phenomenon, process, event, etc.), rarely attracts the attention of linguists, mainly due to an interdisciplinary nature of such research and the lack of a developed methodology for that. In this article, the author presents a case study of the onomasiological competition between constructions of otkryvat'

A cognitive analysis on Spanish differential object marking based on a modified model of the Transitivity Hypothesis Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-30 Sunghye Yang
There are two approaches to Differential Object Marking (dom): The Ambiguity Thesis and the Transitivity Thesis. The Ambiguity Thesis states that a morphological mark for the direct object tends to be used when it possesses the prototypical properties of the subject, such as agenthood, animacy, definiteness or topicality. The Transitivity Thesis argues that languages tend to mark categories with high

A multidimensional approach to echoing Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-30 Inés Lozano-Palacio
Stemming from the use-mention distinction by the philosophy of language, Relevance Theory introduces the notion of echo in the context of the echoic mention theory of irony (cf. Wilson & Sperber, 2012). Since then, echoing has awakened multidisciplinary interest, mostly in connection to this figure of thought. Studies on echoing have provided a largely one-dimensional approach. Within cognitive modeling

The role of metonymy in naming Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-30 Petr Kos
The article deals with the role of metonymy in word-formation, specifically in naming extra-linguistic concepts. Its role is approached from an onomasiological perspective, i.e., the starting point in the analysis is the concept to be named. Within this approach, metonymy is seen as a cognitive process (in the dynamic sense) that is inherent in the act of coining any naming unit irrespective of its

Bodily engagement in the learning and teaching of grammar Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-03-30 Ferran Suñer, Jörg Roche, Liesbeth Van Vossel
Cognitive Linguistics claims that language is not purely abstract and arbitrary, but meaningful and grounded in concepts arising from our embodied experiences (Oakley, 2007). The potential of using imagery and bodily representations to explain the conceptual motivation of grammar has been widely recognized in the context of language acquisition and teaching. This study investigates whether an increase

The convergence and divergence of extension and intension on semantic change Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-12-08 Jing Du, Fuyin Thomas Li
Despite the fact that semantic change studies have intensively argued that intensional readings develop from the literal reading as a whole, diachronic prototype semantics proposes that intensional readings arise from the extensional subsets of the literal reading. This study empirically explored this proposal by carrying out a corpus-based diachronic study. It is proved from the semantic change of

The size of shame and pride Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-05-24 Cristina Soriano, Javier Valenzuela
We investigate the figurative size (big or small) that more naturally fits the conceptual representation of the moral emotion concepts pride and shame. We hypothesize the pairings pride-big and shame-small to be more natural than their counterparts, because of the emotions’ expressive profile: pride’s expanded body posture makes us look big, while shame’s shrunk body posture makes us look small. These

Onomatopoeia and metonymy Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-05-24 Réka Benczes, Lilla Petronella Szabó
When it comes to onomatopoeia, it is often claimed that such words are the epitome of sound symbolism, as the link between form and meaning is felt to be “natural”. Yet, this is quite far from the case: onomatopoeic words do need to conform to the phonological and morphological restrictions of a respective language. Due to these restrictions, onomatopoeic forms can vary greatly with regard to the degree

Antonio Barcelona’s work has advanced our understanding of the role played by pragmatics in the production and comprehension of metonymy. Much of his work has focused on playful uses of metonymy, which involve creative extensions of attested metonymic relationships, particularly in the pursuit of adversarial humour. Whilst there has been extensive work on the creative use of metaphor, very few studies

Roles of verb and construction cues Review of Cognitive Linguistics (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2021-10-11 Gyu-Ho Shin,Hyunwoo Kim
AbstractThis study investigates how speakers of English and Korean, two typologically distinct languages, derive information from a verb and a construction to achieve sentence comprehension. In a sentence-sorting task, we manipulated verb semantics (real versus nonce) in each language. The results showed that participants from both languages were less inclined to sort sentences by a verb cue when the
