Cognitive Linguistics in Critical Discourse Analysis: Application and Theory

by Christopher Hart (Editor), Dominik Lukes (Editor)

In contemporary linguistics, both cognitive and critical approaches to language have been elaborated in some detail. Unfortunately, the two perspectives have seldom converged, despite the potential theoretical advances such collaboration offers. The contributions to this volume explore the convergence of cognitive and critical trends in the guise of Cognitive Linguistics and critical discourse analysis.
