Providing an engaging, accessible and practically-focused introduction to cognitive grammar, this book demonstrates how central cognitive grammar principles can be used in stylistic analyses. Assuming no prior knowledge, it leads students through the basics of cognitive grammar, outlining its place within the field of cognitive linguistics as a whole, providing clear explanations of key principles and concepts, and explaining how these can be used to support the study of a range of literary and non-literary texts.

Thoroughly updated throughout to encompass emerging trends in the field, this second edition features:

- Increased exploration of a range of topics, including specificity and definiteness, scanning, perfective and imperfective verbs, action chains, and subjective and objective construal
- A brand new chapter on extended projects in cognitive grammar
- Additional activities, including on a wider range of literary texts
- Further solutions to modelled answers
- Updated examples, references, and further reading recommendations

Presenting cognitive grammar as a powerful alternative to more traditional grammatical models to enable the analysis of texts, the bookâs primary focus is on the practical application of cognitive grammar to examples of language in context and on its potential for specifically literary and non-literary material. It offers a clear and facilitating approach to allow students to describe language features carefully and to explore how these descriptions can be developed into full and rich analyses.
