Cognitive Linguistics in the Making

The papers in this book address the most fundamental, currently investigated problems in cognitive linguistics in a wide spectrum of perspectives.

Apart from some traditional descriptions of particular metaphors and metonymies, there are analyses of spatio-temporal relations, motion and stillness, iconicity, force dynamics, as well as subjectivity and objectivity in language.

The analyses are based on a number of languages: English, Polish, Russian, German, Lithuanian, Italian and Danish.

The essays represent case studies, theoretical analyses as well as practical applications.
