Foundations of cognitive grammar

TL;DR: The reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages are examined in this state-of-the-art Handbook of endangered languages.

TL;DR: This article showed that the role of arguments in determining aspectuality has little to do with argument selection, and that the relation between an argument and time found in measuring out and incremental theme is more properly viewed as a relation between the dimensional structure of the argument, the time interval, and the event in which they take part.

TL;DR: The theory proposes that graphical representations limit abstraction and thereby aid processibility, and considers how the architecture of working memory explains why such specific representations are relatively easy to store.

TL;DR: It is shown that meaning is not compositional in the usual sense, and that blending operates to produce understandings of composite forms, and two fundamental aspects of this general process are pointed out: cross-space mapping of counterparts, and integration of events.
