This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present monograph is to offer teachers and learners of English a comprehensive pedagogical guide to modal verbs. As such, the book presents a fresh introduction to the use of the cognitive approach in the context of pedagogical grammar. The reader will find a short introduction to the cognitive conceptualization of language. The tasks in the book amalgamate three main rationales discussed in Torres-Martínez (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020): Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), Paper-based Data-Driven Learning (PbDDL) and the cognitive dimension of language providing the systematicity required for the introduction of the tasks in the classroom. I believe readers will find that this book seamlessly connects Construction Grammar theory and English pedagogy in a way that contributes to the important conversation between theory, research and classroom practice.

This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about teaching and learning phrasal verbs in the context of both foreign and second language acquisition. Although both processes differ in terms of the degree to which learners are exposed to the target language through either formal classroom instruction or immersion in the language, the idea underlying this proposal is that both EFL and ESL learners can have similar levels of exposure to the language if the nature of constructions is clearly defined. Thus, in order to create a type of input that promotes category construction through both inductive and explicit instruction, it is necessary to depart from very different assumptions regarding the nature of mind, cognition, and the human experience with the physical world. For example, I claim that what we call mind is not a brain-only phenomenon but a flux of embodied experiences and agentive selections that are reflected in the linguistic system through the influence of speaker-meaning. This theoretical shift aims to connect Applied Cognitive Construction Grammar (ACCxG) with several disciplines such as psychology, cognitive science, philosophy, semiotics, linguistics, and second language acquisition (SLA) theory, to name a few. Clearly, the book is not programmatic, but aims to introduce a cognitive description of language in the context of pedagogical grammar.
Book Synopsis Directions for Pedagogical Construction Grammar by : Hans C. Boas
Download or read book Directions for Pedagogical Construction Grammar written by Hans C. Boas and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can insights from Construction Grammar (CxG) be applied to foreign language learning (FLL) and foreign language teaching (FLT)? This volume explores several aspects of Pedagogical Construction Grammar, with a specific look at issues relevant to second language acquisition, FLL, and FLT. The contributions in this volume discuss a wide range of constructions, as well as different resources, methodologies, and data used to learn constructions in the language classroom. More specifically, they seek to provide answers to the following questions: What do new constructional approaches to teaching and learning foreign language look like that take the insights of CxG seriously? What should electronic resources using constructions and semantic frames for foreign language instruction look like? How should constructions (pairings of form with meaning/function) in the foreign language classroom be introduced? What role does frequency play in learning constructions in the language classroom? What types of strategies does CxG offer to facilitate the acquisition of a second language? This volume is relevant for anyone interested in second language acquisition, foreign language pedagogy, Construction Grammar, and Cognitive Linguistics. Endorsements: If first language learning flows forth from language use, teaching language should be based on relevant usage-patterns, modified in accordance with the advanced cognitive and linguistic knowledge of older learners. The current volume shows how insights from first and second language learning and usage-based Construction Grammar can be turned into evidence-based teaching strategies. Heike Behrens, University of Basel Usage-based Construction Grammar has changed our view of language learning, but it is only recently that researchers have begun to apply the insights of the constructionist approach to language pedagogy. This volume brings together a collection of articles in which experts of Construction Grammar and Usage-based Linguistics make concrete proposals for teaching constructions by using corpora and other resources. A must read for everybody interested in grammar teaching. Holger Diessel, University of Jena With Directions for Pedagogical Construction Grammar, Boas has produced an impressive and much-needed volume which excels at illustrating the immense potential of constructionist approaches to improve language pedagogy. The contributions to this volume, all authored by leading cognitive and corpus linguists, convincingly describe what a successful future of language teaching could look like—one that is founded in usage-based linguistics and takes language patterns seriously. I consider this volume essential reading for any applied linguist. Ute Römer, Georgia State University

Book Synopsis A Cognitive Grammar Approach to Teaching Tense and Aspect in the L2 Context by : Franka Kermer
Download or read book A Cognitive Grammar Approach to Teaching Tense and Aspect in the L2 Context written by Franka Kermer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume links Cognitive Grammar explanations to the area of second-language learning and instructed grammar teaching. It represents a contribution to empirically based knowledge promoting a new perspective on the process of teaching and learning about English language structures. The theoretical part of the book provides an overview of the basic tenets of Cognitive Grammar, and discusses elements of the theory that are of crucial importance for understanding English tense and aspect structures. The second part brings together these two fields of study and tests a Cognitive Grammar approach to teaching tense and aspect to less advanced learners of English. To this end, an experimental study was conducted, comparing the effects of Cognitive Grammar-inspired instruction on the language learning process with those of teaching methods which employ more traditional grammatical descriptions. As such, the book is of particular relevance to Cognitive Grammar research, and second-language learning and teaching research, and for learners and teachers of a foreign language.

Book Synopsis Modality and Diachronic Construction Grammar by : Martin Hilpert
Download or read book Modality and Diachronic Construction Grammar written by Martin Hilpert and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how Diachronic Construction Grammar can shed new light on changes in a central and well-researched domain of grammar, namely modality. Its main goal is to show how constructional analyses can help us address some of the long-standing questions that have informed discussions of modal expressions and their development, and to illustrate the processes that are involved in these developments on the basis of data from languages such as English, Finnish, French, Galician, German, and Japanese. The studies in this volume are organized around three interrelated topics. The first of these concerns the organization of modal constructions in a network. A second focus area of the studies in this volume concerns the developmental pathways that modal constructions follow diachronically. The third topic that ties the contributions of this volume together is the contrast between constructionalization and constructional change.
Book Synopsis Task-based grammar teaching of English by : Susanne Niemeier
Download or read book Task-based grammar teaching of English written by Susanne Niemeier and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus on communication in TBLT often comes at the expense of form. In this book, the task-based approach is enhanced and coupled with insights into (cognitive) grammar, an approach which sees grammar as meaningful. The book shows how grammar teaching can be integrated into a communicative lesson in a non-explicit way, i.e., "by the backdoor". The learners are involved in situations that they may also encounter outside their classrooms and they are given communicative tasks they are to work on and solve, usually with a partner or in small groups. What teachers need to invest for preparing such lessons is their own creativity, as they have to come up with communicative situations which guide the learners into using a specific grammatical structure. The book first discusses the didactic and the linguistic theories involved and then translates these theoretical perspectives into actual teaching practice, focusing on the following grammatical phenomena: tense, aspect, modality, conditionals, passive voice, prepositions, phrasal verbs, verb complementation, pronouns and articles.
Book Synopsis Applying Cognitive Grammar in the Foreign Language Classroom by : Jakub Bielak
Download or read book Applying Cognitive Grammar in the Foreign Language Classroom written by Jakub Bielak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-12 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph constitutes an attempt to demonstrate how Cognitive Grammar (CG) can be employed in the foreign language classroom with a view to aiding learners in better understanding the complexities of English grammar. Its theoretical part provides a brief overview of the main tenets of Cognitive Grammar as well as illustrating how the description of English tense and aspect can be approached from a traditional and a CG perspective. The empirical part reports the findings of an empirical study which aimed to compare the effects of instruction utilizing traditional pedagogic descriptions with those grounded in CG on the explicit an implicit knowledge of the Present Simple and Present Continuous Tenses. The book closes with the discussion of directions for further research when it comes to the application of CG to language pedagogy as well as some pedagogic implications
Book Synopsis Models of Modals by : Ilse Depraetere
Download or read book Models of Modals written by Ilse Depraetere and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-04-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modal verbs in English communicate delicate shades of meaning, there being a large range of verbs both on the necessity side (must, have to, should, ought to, need, need to) and the possibility side (can, may, could, might, be able to). They therefore constitute excellent test ground to apply and compare different methodologies that can lay bare the factors that drive the speaker’s choice of modal verb. This book is not merely concerned with a purely grammatical description of the use of modal verbs, but aims at advancing our understanding of lexical and grammatical units in general and of linguistic methodologies to explore these. It thus involves a genuine effort to compare, assess and combine a variety of approaches. It complements the leading descriptive qualitative work on modal verbs by testing a diverse range of quantitative methods, while not ignoring qualitative issues pertaining to the semantics-pragmatics interface. Starting from a critical assessment of what constitutes the meaning of modal verbs, different types of empirical studies (usage-based, data-driven and experimental), drawing considerably on the same data sets, shows how method triangulation can contribute to an enhanced understanding. Due attention is also given to individual variation as well as the degree to which modals can predict L2 proficiency level.

Book Synopsis Making Progress Simpler? by : Monika Reif
Download or read book Making Progress Simpler? written by Monika Reif and published by Duisburger Arbeiten zur Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents a new approach to tense-aspect teaching from the perspective of Cognitive Linguistics. Its aims are twofold: first, to provide a coherent account of the English tense-aspect system. To this end, a synthesis of Langacker's Cognitive Grammar theory and Fauconnier's Mental Space approach will be put forward. Second, to test the applicability and effectiveness of CL-informed learning materials in the language classroom. For that purpose, an empirical analysis was conducted involving German students of English at an upper-intermediate level. The study therefore addresses linguists and language teachers alike.

This book was released on 2018-08-03 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, Cognitive Linguistics (CL) has established itself not only as a solid theoretical approach but also as an important source from which different applications to other fields have emerged. In this volume we identify some of the current, most relevant topics in applied CL-oriented studies – analyses of figurative language (both metaphor and metonymy) in use, constructions and typology –, and present high-quality research papers that illustrate best practices in the research foci identified and their application to different fields including intercultural communication, the psychology of emotions, second and first language acquisition, discourse analysis and translation studies. It is also shown how different methodologies –the use of linguistic corpora, psycholinguistic experiments or discourse analytic procedures– can shed some light on the basic premises of CL as well as providing insights into how CL can be applied in real world contexts. Finally, all the studies included in the volume are based on empirical data and there are some analyses of languages other than English (Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Danish, German and Polish), thus overcoming the contentions that CL-theoretically-based research is often based on linguistic intuition and focused only on the English language. We hope that the present volume will not only contribute to a better understanding of how CL can be applied but that it will also help to encourage, even further, more robust empirical research in this field. Originally published as a special issue of Review of Cognitive Linguistics 14:1 (2016).

Book Synopsis Cognitive Grammar in Literature by : Chloe Harrison
Download or read book Cognitive Grammar in Literature written by Chloe Harrison and published by Linguistic Approaches to Literature. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to present an account of literary meaning and effects drawing on our best understanding of mind and language in the form of a Cognitive Grammar. The contributors provide exemplary analyses of a range of literature from science fiction, dystopia, absurdism and graphic novels to the poetry of Wordsworth, Hopkins, Sassoon, Balassi, and Dylan Thomas, as well as Shakespeare, Chaucer, Barrett Browning, Whitman, Owen and others. The application of Cognitive Grammar allows the discussion of meaning, translation, ambience, action, reflection, multimodality, empathy, experience and literariness itself to be conducted in newly valid ways. With a Foreword by the creator of Cognitive Grammar, Ronald Langacker, and an Afterword by the cognitive scientist Todd Oakley, the book represents the latest advance in literary linguistics, cognitive poetics and literary critical practice.

The book holds great interest for linguists, linguistics students, and professionals in related disciplines.
Book Synopsis Cognitive Linguistics: Basic Readings by : Dirk Geeraerts
Download or read book Cognitive Linguistics: Basic Readings written by Dirk Geeraerts and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, Cognitive Linguistics has grown to be one of the most broadly appealing and dynamic frameworks for the study of natural language. Essentially, this new school of linguistics focuses on the meaning side of language: linguistic form is analysed as an expression of meaning. And meaning itself is not something that exists in isolation, but it is integrated with the full spectrum of human experience: the fact that we are embodied beings just as much as the fact that we are cultural beings. Cognitive Linguistics: Basic Readings brings together twelve foundational articles, each of which introduces one of the basic concepts of Cognitive Linguistics, like conceptual metaphor, image schemas, mental spaces, construction grammar, prototypicality and radial sets. The collection features the founding fathers of Cognitive Linguistics: George Lakoff, Ron Langacker, Len Talmy, Gilles Fauconnier, and Charles Fillmore, together with some of the most influential younger scholars. By its choice of seminal papers and leading authors, Basic Readings is specifically suited for an introductory course in Cognitive Linguistics. This is further supported by a general introduction to the theory and, specifically, the practice of Cognitive Linguistics and by trajectories for further reading that start out from the individual chapters.
