The Annual review of cognitive linguistics<\/em> has been published under the patronage of the Spanish Cognitive Linguistics Association since 2003. The fourth collection contains eight articles, two interviews, and one review.<\/p>\n

On the basis of an in-depth analysis of eleven functionalist, cognitive, and constructionist models, Francisco Gonz\u00e1lvez-Garc\u00eda <\/strong>and Christopher S. Butler<\/strong>, \u2018Mapping functional-cognitive space\u2019 (39\u201396), attempt to clarify the ontological correlation between functionalism and cognitivism. In \u2018Introspection and cognitive linguistics: Should we trust our own intuitions?\u2019 (135\u201351), Raymond W. Gibbs<\/strong> verifies how introspective analyses of language and thought reflect the ways ordinary people think and use language.<\/p>\n

In Honesto Herrera-Soler<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018Conceptual metaphor in press headlines on globalisation\u2019 (1\u201320), conceptual metaphors and metonymies of the globalization discourse are explored in headlines of Spanish and British newspapers. Marisol Velasco-Sacrist\u00e1n<\/strong> and Pedro A. Fuertes-Olivera<\/strong>, \u2018Olfactory and olfactory-mixed metaphors in print ads of perfume\u2019 (217\u201352), concentrate on nonverbal manifestations of metaphors, uncovering the covert communication of advertising.<\/p>\n

In \u2018Constructions with get<\/em>: How to get the picture without getting confused\u2019 (21\u201337), St\u00e9phanie Bonnefille <\/strong>shows how language and action are interrelated and to what extent syntax is constrained by kinesthetic scenarios and force dynamics. Cristiano Broccias<\/strong>, \u2018The construal of simultaneity in English with special reference to as<\/em>-clauses\u2019 (97\u2013133), focuses on as<\/em>-clauses (in contrast to while<\/em>-clauses), investigating how simultaneity between two events\u2014a main clause event and a subordinate clause event\u2014is encoded in English.<\/p>\n

Seana Coulson<\/strong> and Esther Pascual<\/strong>, \u2018For the sake of argument: Mourning the unborn and reviving the dead through conceptual blending\u2019 (153\u201381), study how framing in situated persuasive discourse interacts with conceptual integration (i.e. blending) on the samples of prenatal and postmortem blends in pro-life rhetoric and judicial argumentation. Teresa Cadierno<\/strong> and Lucas Ruiz<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018Motion events in Spanish L2 acquisition\u2019 (183\u2013216) discusses the methods of researching how adult language learners express motion events in a foreign language. They hypothesize that the influence of the native-tongue thinking for speaking patterns might be stronger at the initial and intermediate stages but gradually disappears as the acquisition process advances.<\/p>\n

Each paper contains its own rich bibliography. The volume also contains interviews in which Leonard Talmy <\/strong>(questioned by Iraide Ibarretxe-Antu\u00f1ano<\/strong>) and John Taylor<\/strong> (questioned by Nick Ascroft<\/strong>) discuss controversial ideas of cognitive linguistics. Finally, Joseph Hilferty<\/strong>\u2019s review of Teresa Vall\u00e8s\u2019s monograph \u2018La creativitat l\u00e8xica en un model basat en l\u2019\u00fas (Una aproximaci\u00f3 cognitiva a la neologia i la productivitat)\u2019 \u00a0(Barcelona: Publicacions de l\u2019Abadia Montserrat, 2004) closes the book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
