<p>This series of lectures presents a
synthesis of cognitive linguistic theory and research on first and second
language acquistion, language processing, individual differences in linguistic
knowledge, and on the role of multi-word chunks and low-level schemas in
language production and comprehension. It highlights the tension between
“linguists’ grammars”, which are strongly influenced by principles such as
economy and elegance, and “speakers’ grammars”, which are often messy, less
than fully general, and sometimes inconsistent, and argues that cognitive
linguistics is an empirical science which combines study of real usage events
and experiments which rigorously test specific hypotheses.</p>
