Industry Reviews

I know of no other volume that covers so much of CL so well, especially for readers new to the field. [...] Evans has done a remarkable job of presenting CL's "cognitive commitment" to relate linguistic structure to general cognitive principles.--James K. Watters, SIL International "Journal of Language, Culture, and Religion"
This book is a 'must-read' for anyone interested in pursuing work in Cognitive Linguistics. It provides a comprehensive, in-depth account of all the main work in the area and sets out clear directions for the field. It is written in an accessible style which will make it appeal to students and researchers alike. Its breadth and depth of coverage are unparalleled.--Jeannette Littlemore, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of Birmingham
Vyv Evans's Cognitive Linguistics: A Complete Guide is one of the best introductions to the intersection of language and the mind ever written. It masterfully answers a constellation of questions of how language emerges in human experience as a function of human learning, experience, and knowledge - as a cognitive technology that is peerless in the animal kingdom. Evans's work renders superfluous the idea of a hard-wired "language organ," replacing this simplistic idea with a painstakingly developed empirical theory of human thinking and communication. It is a masterpiece and a delight. I recommend it to students, professionals, and to all those interested in understanding humans and their languages.--Professor Daniel L. Everett, Bentley University
