On constructing a research model for historical cognitive linguistics (HCL): Some theoretical considerations. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper examines how historical cognitive linguistics can benefit methodologically
through the application of the notion of language as a complex adaptive system. The idea
that languages are complex adaptive systems (CAS) was introduced initially in computational
evolutionary linguistics, a discipline that was and remains inspired by biological,
systems theoretical approaches to the evolution of life. Here the way that the ...

Analytical tools such as conceptual metaphor, frame semantics, mental spaces and grammatical constructions have been productively applied in various discourse contexts. In this volume, originally published as a special issue of English Text Construction 3:2 (2010), the contributors, a mix of established and ...
