This is the first accessible introduction to the "cognitive paradigm" in linguistics. Constrasting cognitive linguistics with the assumptions of Chomskyan linguistics, and drawing examples mainly from English, the book explores the potential of the study of word meaning, syntax, and phonology.

Review
"A stimulationg, eminently readable demonstration of the use of prototypical forms of analysis within cognitive linguistics"--Linguistics
"The best treatment of prototype theory currently available; clearly written, comprehensive."--Dr C.S. Butler, University of Nottingham
"Taylor's book is a good introductory text for anyone interested in cognitive grammar. It offers a valuable overview of the state of the art in the field of prototype research as well as an interesting account of linguistic categorization."--Cognitive Linguistics
"There can be no doubt that, as a survey, it is very useful....The book is very well organised and very clearly written."--Lingua
"The book is clear enough to be used as a textbook and its recent appearance in paperback will be an added attraction."--Journal of Pragmatics
Cognitive Linguistics is a vibrant, ever expanding field....John Taylor's book, which is very readable and relatively short...is one of the best 'introductions' to the field that I know of."--Word
