<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>

<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.</p>
