Reviews

<br> A major step towards an empirically grounded cognitive-linguistic theory of language...his book is equally recommendable to students of linguistics, advanced scholars, and even <br>interested laypersons...Taylor's book is highly recommended for anyone interested in <br>usage-based theories of language and linguistic knowledge. It offers valuable insights not only to cognitive linguists and corpus linguists, but also to historical linguists and second language teachers. --Linguist List<p><br>


a cornerstone reference for years to come. Martin Hilpert, Functions of Language
