Cognitive Linguistic Approaches to Teaching Vocabulary and Phraseology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This book presents ample empirical evidence that making language learners aware of the motivated nature of language can help them comprehend and remember many words and phrases.

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

It takes subject placement variation in Dutch as a test case to gauge the effect of the four constraints and relies on a controlled corpus of student and professional ...
