Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Cognitive Linguistics (CL) is a growing paradigm in linguistics radiating into many neighboring fields. It claims that the human language faculty is fundamentally rooted in perception, movement and bodily interaction with the environment. CL emphasizes the interconnectivity of cognition and the comprehension of abstract concepts via concrete ones. For instance, the expressions to get stuck in a relationship or driving in the fast lane of love reflect a deeper, more general conceptual structure defining LOVE AS A JOURNEY. CL explains linguistic phenomena with reference to tacit conceptual structures whereby a linguistic community construes its reality (e.g., categorization principles, conceptual metaphors and metonymies, blends, scripts and frames). These notions, in turn, help explain how cultural universals give rise to specifics.

The course introduces students to key notions and methods in CL drawing on illustrations from spoken discourse, poetry, narrative, journalism, visual art, advertising, gesture, and humor. The course's strong applied thrust will enable participants to identify, group and appropriately analyze metaphors and metonymies with regard to their underlying conceptual structure.
