<p>In his ten Beijing
lectures, Leonard Talmy represents the range of his work in cognitive
semantics. The central concern of this approach is the linguistic
representation of conceptual structure, that is, the patterns in which and
processes by which conceptual content is organized in language. The
lectures examine the semantics of grammar, force dynamics, a typology of how
motion events are represented, factive versus fictive motion, a typology of
event integration, differences in how spoken and signed language structure
space, the attention system of language, introspection as a methodology in
linguistics, the relation of language to other cognitive systems, and
digitalization in the Evolution of language.</p>
