Cognition and Function in Language
edited by Barbara Fox, Dan Jurafsky, and Laura Michaelis
This volume brings together 17 papers resulting from the third
conference on Conceptual Structure, Discourse and Language (CSDL 3),
held at the University of Colorado at Boulder in May 1997. Since the
first CSDL conference held in San Diego in 1994, the CSDL series has
created a spirited forum for exchange between practitioners of
cognitive and functional linguistics. The papers in this volume
focus on the motivations for linguistic patterning in human social
and cognitive experience, and on the dynamic properties of language
construal, use, and development. The papers collected here are a
rich sampling of the complex data, innovative methods and fresh
research questions undertaken by scholars in the
cognitive-functional traditions. Among the main research avenues
represented in this volume are grammaticalization, child language
learning, categorization, conversational practice, and linguistic
knowledge representation.
Barbara A. Fox is Professor, Department of Linguistics, Daniel Jurafsky is Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics, Institute of Cognitive Science, and Department of Computer Science, and Laura A. Michaelis is Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics. All are at the University og Colorado at Boulder
