<p>Cognitive linguistics is purported to be a usage-based approach, yet
only recently has research in some of its subfields turned to spontaneous
spoken (versus written) language data. The collection of Alan Cienki’s <i>Ten Lectures on Spoken Language and Gesture
from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics</i> considers what it means to
apply different approaches from within this field to the dynamic, multimodal
combination of speech and gesture. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The lectures encompass such main paradigms as blending and mental space
theory, conceptual metaphor and metonymy, construction and cognitive grammars,
image schemas, and mental simulation in relation to semantics. Overall, Alan
Cienki shows that taking the usage-based commitment seriously with audio-visual
data raises new issues and questions for theoretical models in cognitive
linguistics.</p>

The
lectures for this book were given at <a href="http://cifcl.buaa.edu.cn/">The
China International Forum on Cognitive Linguistics</a> in May 2013.
