The textbook introduces the reader to fundamentals and current themes in usage-based cognitive linguistics. It covers the models, concepts, and theories of cognitive semantics as well as grammatical models (cognitive grammar, construction grammar). It also describes recent developments, such as cognitive-linguistic research on multimodality, cognitive poetics, and the application of cognitive linguistic insights to language instruction.
