Cognitive linguistics investigates language as a reflection of deeper cognitive and conceptual processes. It views grammar as emerging from embodied cognition and conceptual metaphors as fundamental to human thought. Two key theories are conceptual integration, where meaning is constructed through blending mental spaces, and metaphor theory, where abstract domains are structured via source domains from embodied experience. Cognitive linguistics has applied these insights across diverse topics from spatial language to mathematics. It provides an empirically-grounded approach linking linguistic, psychological, and neural levels of analysis.
Idealization in cognitive and generative linguisticsBarbara Konat
The aim of this presentation is to compare processes of idealization and concretization in cognitive and generative linguistics.
According to idealization theory developed by Leszek Nowak (1977) each science uses methods of idealization in order to construct scientific models. The application of idealization theory presented here reveals steps of idealization (and respectively – concretization) in two linguistic approaches.

A Research Study On Linguistics
Overview
One of the most fundamental questions asked in Philosophy of Language is "What is language (in general terms)?"
According to semiotics (the study of sign processes in communication, and of how meaning is constructed and understood), language is the mere manipulation and use of symbols in order to draw attention to signified content, in which case humans would not be the sole possessors of language skills.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science
Cognitive Linguistics
Gilles Fauconnier
Cognitive linguistics has emerged in the last twenty-five years as a
powerful approach to the study of language, conceptual systems, human
cognition, and general meaning construction.
It addresses within language the structuring of basic conceptual categories
such as space and time, scenes and events, entities and processes, motion and
location, force and causation. It addresses the structuring of ideational and
affective categories attributed to cognitive agents, such as attention and
perspective, volition and intention.1 In doing so, it develops a rich conception of
grammar that reflects fundamental cognitive abilities: the ability to form
structured conceptualizations with multiple levels of organization, to conceive of
a situation at varying levels of abstraction, to establish correspondences between
facets of different structures, and to construe the same situation in alternate
ways.2
Cognitive linguistics recognizes that the study of language is the study of
language use and that when we engage in any language activity, we draw
unconsciously on vast cognitive and cultural resources, call up models and
frames, set up multiple connections, coordinate large arrays of information, and
engage in creative mappings, transfers, and elaborations. Language does not
2. 2
"represent" meaning; it prompts for the construction of meaning in particular
contexts with particular cultural models and cognitive resources. Very sparse
grammar guides us along the same rich mental paths, by prompting us to
perform complex cognitive operations. Thus, a large part of cognitive linguistics
centers on the creative on-line construction of meaning as discourse unfolds in
context.3 The dividing line between semantics and pragmatics dissolves and
truth-conditional compositionality disappears.
Aspects of language and expression that had been consigned to the
rhetorical periphery of language, such as metaphor4 and metonymy,5 are
redeemed and rehabilitated within cognitive linguistics. They are understood to
be powerful conceptual mappings at the very core of human thought, important
not just for the understanding of poetry, but also science, mathematics, religion,
philosophy, and everyday speaking and thinking.6
Importantly, thought and language are embodied. Conceptual structure
arises from our sensorimotor experience and the neural structures that give rise
to it. The structure of concepts includes prototypes; reason is embodied and
imaginative. A grammar is ultimately a neural system. The properties of
grammars are the properties of humanly embodied neural systems.7 Cognitive
capacities that play a fundamental role in the organization of language are not
specific to language. Such capacities include analogy, recursion, viewpoint and
perspective, figure-ground organization, and conceptual integration.8
3. 3
The stage was set for cognitive linguistics in the nineteen seventies and
early eighties with Len Talmy's work on figure and ground, Ronald Langacker's
cognitive grammar framework, George Lakoff's research on metaphor, gestalts,
categories and prototypes,9 Fillmore's frame semantics,10 and Fauconnier's mental
spaces.11 Today, there are hundreds of scholars who work in this paradigm, and
there is a huge amount of published research on the theories and their
applications. The present short encyclopedia entry cannot do justice to the
wealth of discoveries, empirical studies, and applications that have come out of
this recent tradition. I give in the bibliography some indications of where to get
a more detailed picture.12 In the following sections, I outline some of the
fundamental themes that run through cognitive linguistics.
I. Grammar and Cognition
The relation of grammar to cognition is studied in exquisite detail in the
foundational work of Talmy (2000) and Langacker (1987, 1991). Talmy shows the
great restrictions on the conceptual categories that grammatical systems actually
specifiy. For example number, but not color, and within number, 'singular',
'dual', 'plural', but never 'even', 'odd', 'dozen' or 'numerable'. Topological
reference ('across the sky,' 'across the table,'), but not Euclidean reference.
Multiplexing, states of boundedness and dividedness. Axiality, perspective (The
door slowly opened and two men walked in vs. Two men slowly opened the door and
walked in), sequentializing (There are some houses in the valley vs. There is a house
now and then in the valley), viewing, and nesting.
4. 4
Langacker shows how grammar imposes trajector/landmark organization
on scenes and events (The table is below the lamp and The lamp is above the table
express the same spatial relation with trajector and landmark reversed).
Profiling is another important construct of Langacker's cognitive grammar: the
word hypotenuse evokes a right triangle and profiles a particular part of it: the
same segment without the rest of the triangle is no longer a hypotenuse. In I
melted it, melt profiles an entire action chain with causation and change leading
to a liquid state. In It melted easily, only the change is profiled, although the
causation is still evoked. In It is finally melted, only the resultant state is profiled,
but the unprofiled change is evoked. Langacker analyzes in considerable detail
the ways in which component structures are integrated through correspondences
and elaboration to form composite structures: a phonological integration (e.g.
the English jar lid) symbolizes the semantic integration of 'jar' and 'lid'.13
Other key aspects of conceptual structuring as reflected by grammar, and
found in language after language,14 include fictive motion (The blackboard goes all
the way to the wall), event integration (The ball rolled in, The candle blew out, I kicked
the door shut), and force dynamics (The ball kept rolling, He refrained from closing the
door), and the application of force dynamics to abstract reasoning and felicity
conditions on speech acts.15
Fascinating linguistically and psychologically is the way in which
language structures space. No two languages are ever alike in this respect,
although the general principles remain the same. Each of us in his or her own
5. 5
language carves out physical space in fantastically intricate ways, of which we
are not aware. Deceptively simple looking prepositions like in, out, over, define
elaborate networks of spatial meaning with hundreds of linked schemas, some of
which are prototypical and central. Compare The plane flew over the field, The
post-office is over the hill, The log rolled over, The party is over, He had to do it over, He
overlooked it, He looked it over, He oversaw it. Remarkable work on this topic has
been done by cognitive linguists16 and explicit computational models17 have
confirmed the staggering cognitive complexity of the human capacity to
structure space linguistically. Regier (1996), who built a structured connectionist
model capable of learning subsets of such relations for different languages shows
that many aspects of neurobiology, conceptualization, and general learning are at
play.
II. Metaphor theory
A second strand of fundamental work in cognitive linguistics which
interacts constantly with the first is the considerable development of metaphor
theory over the last twenty years. Launched by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), this
line of research rests on the key insight that far from being a rhetorical flourish,
metaphor is basic and constitutive for all the thinking that we do, and that in the
scheme of evolution, metaphor, based on source domains of human experience
and neural connections to our embodied sensations, actions, and emotions, is
what creates the possibility of 'abstract' reasoning, scientific and mathematical
6. 6
thought, philosophical speculation, in other words language and culture quite
generally. The mind is embodied and metaphor gives it the power that it has.
What the Berkeley research group discovered was that source domains
were systematically used to structure target domains by means of metaphorical
mappings. For example, our general way to talk and think about event structure
is in terms of motion. In this metaphorical mapping, states are locations, change
of state is change of location, causes are forces, purposes are destinations, means
are paths to destination, guided action is guided motion, etc., etc. This is
extensively reflected by the lexical and grammatical features of language we use
to express event structure: He went crazy. She entered a state of euphoria. The
clothes are somewhere between wet and dry. The home run threw the crowd into a
frenzy. She walked him through the problem. I've hit a brick wall. Do it any way
you can. We're moving ahead/at a standstill.18 This is not an isolated example;
metaphorical structuring plays a crucial role in most of our conceptual systems,
including all of the ones developed in science and mathematics.19 Nor is it a
mere convenience offered by language. The structure and inferences of the
source domain of motion are projected to the target domain of events and action
in a systematic way that defines for us a rich conceptualization not present a
priori in the target domain.
In the same way, time is typically conceptualized in terms of space and
motion. In English, times can be "objects moving towards and then past a
stationary observer," or "objects that are stationary with respect to a moving
7. 7
observer": The time will come/has passed. Christmas is approaching/is coming up. The
summer just zoomed by. We're getting close to Christmas. We passed the deadline.
We've reached the end of May already.
The event structure metaphor illustrates the interaction of force dynamics
with metaphor theory. Causes are forces, and moreover, if they operate on the
landscape of "reasoning", they will lead you or drive you to correct or incorrect
conclusions, sidetrack you, or force you to a certain opinion/position.
Conventional metaphors such as these can be extended and reextended to enrich
conceptual understanding. Time can fly and crawl and disappear. In a line by
Shakespeare, where Hector greets Nestor, Time becomes a moving person, who
holds the hand of the venerable Nestor:20
Let me embrace thee, good old chronicle,
That hast so long walk'd hand in hand with time.
III. Mental spaces and Conceptual integration
Mental spaces are small conceptual packets constructed as we think and
talk, for purposes of local understanding and action. They are very partial
assemblies containing elements, and structured by frames and cognitive models.
They are interconnected and can be modified as thought and discourse unfold.
Mental spaces proliferate in the unfolding of discourse, map onto each
other in intricate ways, and provide abstact mental structure for shifting
anchoring, viewpoint, and focus, allowing us to direct our attention at any time
8. 8
onto very partial and simple structures, while maintaining an elaborate web of
connections in working memory, and in long term memory.
For example, if we say that In reality, Richard Burton loves Elizabeth Taylor,
but in the movie, he kills her, we set up two mental spaces, one for reality and one
for the movie; Richard Burton in reality has a counterpart (say Marc Anthony) in
the movie, and Elizabeth Taylor in reality has a counterpart (say Cleopatra) in
the movie. Connections between mental spaces allow access to elements in one
mental space through counterparts of that element in other mental spaces (e.g.
Marc Anthony via Burton). Mental spaces offer a general and elegant means of
dealing with opacity, presupposition, counterfactuals, and tense and mood in
language. Take for example the sentence In 1957, the president was a baby,
appearing in a discourse where a base mental space with G.W. Bush as current
president has been set up. In 1957 sets up a new "1957" space. If we take the
president to describe Bush in the base, its counterpart "Bush in 1957" will be
accessed, and the sentence will mean that Bush was a baby back in 1957. If on
the other hand, we take the president to describe "someone" in the new mental
space of "1957", then that someone will be both a baby and a president in 1957.
The sentence this time will mean that a baby was president in 1957. Multiple
access possibilities of this kind allow the same sentence to prompt for different
connection paths depending on what mental spaces have already been set up in
context, and what counterpart connections are available. A wide range of
puzzling reference phenomena fall out of this general underspecification of
9. 9
connecting paths, for example the difference between If I were you I'd hate me and
If I were you, I would hate myself, split reference as in If Woody Allen had been born
twins, they would have been sorry for each other, or Sweetser's meta-metaphorical
conditionals, such as If the Ile de la Cité is the heart of Paris, then the Seine is the aorta.
Behind the idiosyncrasies of language, cognitive linguistics has repeatedly
uncovered evidence for the operation of more general cognitive processes.
Mappings between mental spaces are part of this general organization of
thought. Although language provides considerable data for studying such
mappings, they are not in themselves specifically linguistic. They show up
generally in conceptualization. A striking case of a general cognitive operation
on mental spaces, that is reflected universally in the way we think, is conceptual
integration.
Conceptual integration consists in setting up networks of mental spaces
which map onto each other and blend into new mental spaces in various ways.
In everyday thinking and talking, we use conceptual integration networks
systematically in the on-line construction of meaning. Some of the integrations
are novel, others are more entrenched, and we rarely pay conscious attention to
the process, because it is so pervasive. In a conceptual integration network,
partial structure from input mental mental spaces is projected to a new blended
mental space which develops dynamic (imaginative) structure of its own.
For example, the counterfactual In France, Watergate would not have done
Nixon any harm is intended to prompt inferences on the difference between the
10. 10
American and French political systems. It requires the listener to construct input
spaces for American politics and for French politics. One must establish a set of
mappings between the input spaces and then project selectively into a blended
space in which Nixon and Watergate are embedded into French politics. The
imaginative emergent structure of that mental space (Nixon is not harmed, etc.)
will provide insight into the political realities of the two countries.
Most aspects of human life, not just language, bring in conceptual
integration networks. This remarkable cognitive capacity has been studied in a
variety of domains, such as mathematics, action and design, distributed
cognition, magic and religion, anthropology and political science. .21 It has been
suggested that the capacity of conceptual integration evolved biologically to
reach a threshhold, double-scope creativity, that constitutes a necessary
condition for the cognitively modern human singularities of art, creative toolmaking, religious thought, and grammar.22
SUMMARY
Cognitive linguistics goes beyond the visible structure of language and
investigates the considerably more complex backstage operations of cognition
that create grammar, conceptualization, discourse , and thought itself. The
theoretical insights of cognitive linguistics are based on extensive empirical
observation in multiple contexts, and on experimental work in psychology and
neuroscience.23 Results of cognitive linguistics, especially from metaphor theory
