Linguists and philosophers examine the representation of temporal reference; the interaction of the temporal information from tense, aspect, modality, and context; and the representation of the temporal relations between facts, events, states, propositions, and utterances. They link this to current research in psychology and anthropology.

Humans are adaptive beings. Gradually, we have produced the fundamental capacities for our cooperation, recognition of intentions, and interaction which led to the development of language and culture. The present collective volume builds on an orientation to pragmatics as the sustained and principled human adaptability in interaction, form, and meaning. Working on different strands of such a socially oriented pragmatics, the authors gathered in this volume study the adaptability of language as shaped by the conditions of society, culture, and cognition. Grouped in four sections, the book’s chapters explore the embedding of adaptability in language ideology, text, communicative practice, and learning. Adopting these various perspectives, the authors gauge how language users navigate the different layers of societal, cognitive, and communicative constraints, while adapting their communicative practices, language ideologies, and technologies of interaction to their everyday living conditions.

After an introductory chapter that provides an overview to theoretical issues in tense, aspect, modality and evidentiality, this volume presents a variety of original contributions that are firmly empirically-grounded based on elicited or corpus data, while adopting different theoretical frameworks. Thus, some chapters rely on large diachronic corpora and provide new qualitative insight on the evolution of TAM systems through quantitative methods, while others carry out a collostructional analysis of past-tensed verbs using inferential statistics to explore the lexical grammar of verbs. A common goal is to uncover semantic regularities and variation in the TAM systems of the languages under study by taking a close look at context. Such a fine-grained approach contributes to our understanding of the TAM systems from a typological perspective. The focus on well-known Indo-European languages (e.g. French, German, English, Spanish) and also on less commonly studied languages (e.g. Hungarian, Estonian, Avar, Andi, Tagalog) provides a valuable cross-linguistic perspective.

Almost every experience we have tells us that time must exist. This book aims to make the absence of time thinkable. Beginning with an examination of the 'folk' concept of time, it explores the implications this has for our understanding of agency and the extent to which our best physics and metaphysics are compatible with a timeless reality.

This volume focuses on the role language plays at all levels of the argumentation process. It explores the effects that specific linguistic choices may have in the production and the reception of arguments and in doing so, it moves beyond the first, necessary, descriptive stance provided by current literature on the topic. Each chapter provides an original take illuminating one or more of the following three issues: the range of linguistic resources language users draw on as they argue; how cognitive processes of meaning construction may influence argumentative practices; and which discursive devices can be used to fulfil a number of argumentative goals. The volume includes theoretical and empirical or applied stances, providing the reader both with state-of-the-art reflections on the relationship between argumentation and language, and with concrete examples of how this relationship plays out in naturally occurring argumentative practices, such as classroom interaction, and political, parliamentary or journalistic discourse. This is a very original, timely and welcome contribution to the study of argumentation conducted with the tools of the language sciences. The collection of papers relevantly tackles key linguistic, discursive and cognitive aspects of argumentative practices whose treatment is underrepresented in mainstream argumentation studies by offering new and exciting linguistically-grounded theoretical accounts. As such, the volume testifies both to the vigour of the linguistic current within the discipline and to the high standards of scholarly commitment and quality that the younger generation is pushing forward. Without question, this book marks an important milestone in the relationships between linguistics and argumentation theory. Christian Plantin, Professor Emeritus

In a world where language shapes our thoughts, actions, and interactions, cognitive linguistics offers a profound new lens through which to understand the intricate tapestry of human communication. This captivating book takes you on an immersive journey into the realm of cognitive linguistics, revealing the profound influence of cognitive processes on language structure, meaning, and use. Challenging traditional views of language as a purely formal system, cognitive linguistics posits that language is fundamentally rooted in human cognition. It unveils how our perceptual, conceptual, and social experiences shape the structures, categories, and principles that govern language. With this paradigm shift, we gain groundbreaking insights into the nature of language and its role in human communication. Unraveling the secrets of word meaning, cognitive linguistics reveals that words are not static entities but rather flexible and context-dependent. It introduces the concept of prototype theory, demonstrating how words are associated with central, prototypical meanings that can expand and adapt to encompass a range of related and extended meanings. This dynamic view of word meaning revolutionizes our understanding of language comprehension, production, and acquisition. Delving into the intricate relationship between syntax and semantics, cognitive linguistics unveils how grammatical structures reflect the ways in which we conceptualize and organize our experiences. It challenges the notion of arbitrary grammatical rules and presents new theories that emphasize the role of cognitive and functional factors in shaping language structure. This perspective opens up new avenues of exploration, leading to a deeper appreciation for the meaningful patterns that underlie language. Cognitive linguistics also sheds light on the fascinating world of phonology, the study of sound patterns in language. It reveals the phenomenon of sound symbolism, where particular sounds are associated with specific meanings. This insight provides a deeper understanding of how sound and meaning are intertwined in human language, enriching our appreciation for the intricate tapestry of communication. With its far-reaching implications, cognitive linguistics extends beyond theoretical linguistics, touching diverse fields such as language teaching and learning, communication studies, and artificial intelligence. This book explores these applications, demonstrating how cognitive linguistics can inform and enhance our understanding of these varied domains. As you embark on this intellectual adventure, you will encounter thought-provoking ideas and gain new insights that challenge conventional notions of language and its role in our lives. Prepare to be captivated by the transformative power of cognitive linguistics as it unveils the profound connection between language and cognition. If you like this book, write a review!
