Abstract

Over thirty years ago, the first volume of Ronald Langacker's Foundations of cognitive grammar presented the linguistic community with a highly innovative and equally controversial framework for linguistic analysis. It took some time, however, for Cognitive Grammar to be perceived as a construction grammar model -- maybe because “the word ‘construction' rarely appears there” (Croft and Cruse 2004: 278), maybe because the semantic apparatus and heavy use of diagrams seemed so overwhelming at first that the construction grammar side of the framework faded into the background.
