Paperback. Condition: New. The papers in this volume deal with the issue of how corpus data relate to the questions that cognitive linguists have typically investigated with respect to conceptual mappings. The authors in this volume investigate a wide range of issues - the coherence and function of particular metaphorical models, the interaction of form and meaning, the identification of source domains of metaphorical expressions, the relationship between metaphor and discourse, the priming of metaphors, and the historical development of metaphors. The studies deal with a variety of metaphorical and metonymic source and target domains, including the source domains SPACE, ANIMALS, BODY PARTS, ORGANIZATIONS and WAR, and the target domains VERBAL ACTIVITY, ECONOMY, EMOTIONS and POLITICS. In their studies, the authors present a variety of corpus-linguistic methods for the investigation of conceptual mappings, for example, corpora annotated for semantic categories, concordances of individual source-domain items and patterns, and concordances of target-domain items. In sum, the papers in this volume show how a wide range of corpus-linguistic methods can be used to investigate a variety of issues in cognitive linguistics; the combination of corpus methods with a cognitive-linguistic view of metaphor and metonymy yields new answers to old questions (and to new questions) about the relationship between language as a conceptual phenomenon and language as a textual phenomenon.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Computational and corpus linguists doing corpus work will find that R provides an enormous range of functions that require several programs to achieve - searching and processing corpora, statistical evaluation, and graphing.

Hardback. Condition: New. Cognitive Linguistics, the branch of linguistics that tries to "make one's account of human language accord with what is generally known about the mind and the brain," has become one of the most flourishing fields of contemporary linguistics. The chapters address many classic topics of Cognitive Linguistics. These topics include studies on the semantics of specific words (including polysemy and synonymy) as well as semantic characteristics of particular syntactic patterns / constructions (including constructional synonymy and the schematicity of constructions), the analysis of causatives, transitivity, and image-schematic aspects of posture verbs. The key characteristic of this volume is that all papers adopt the methodological perspective of Corpus Linguistics, the rapidly evolving branch of linguistics based on the computerized analysis of language used in authentic settings. Thus, the contributions do not only all provide various new insights in their respective fields, they also introduce new data as well as new corpus-based and quantitative methods of analysis. On the basis of their findings, the authors discuss both theoretical implications going well beyond the singular topics of the studies and show how the discipline of Cognitive Linguistics can benefit from the rigorous analysis of naturally-occurring language. The languages which are investigated are English, German, Dutch, and Russian, and the data come from a variety of different corpora. As such, the present volume will be of interest to a wide range of scholars with many different foci and interests and should pave the way for further integration of usage-based techniques of analysis within this exciting paradigm.…

Paperback. Condition: New. 3rd rev. and ext. edition. This is the third, newly revised and extended edition of this successful book (that has already been translated into three languages). Like the previous editions, it is entirely based on the programming language and environment R and is still thoroughly hands-on (with thousands of lines of heavily annotated code for all computations and plots). However, this edition has been updated based on many workshops/bootcamps taught by the author all over the world for the past few years: This edition has been didactically streamlined with regard to its exposition, it adds two new chapters - one on mixed-effects modeling, one on classification and regression trees as well as random forests - plus it features new discussion of curvature, orthogonal and other contrasts, interactions, collinearity, the effects and emmeans packages, autocorrelation/runs, some more bits on programming, writing statistical functions, and simulations, and many practical tips based on 10 years of teaching with these materials.…

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Unbekannte Unterschrift / Widmung; Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Das vorliegende Werk fuhrt - anhand von Sprachdaten - systematisch zunachst in die Methoden der Datensammlung und in Grundlagen und Anwendungsbereiche der quantitativen Linguistik ein. Anschliessend versetzt es den Leser Schritt fur Schritt in die Lage, eigenstandig die erhobenen Daten zu visualisieren und diese fachkundig auf der Basis der deskriptiven (beschreibenden) und induktiven (schliessenden) Statistik rechnergestutzt auszuwerten und zu interpretieren. Anfangergerecht fuhrt der Autor dabei parallel in das leistungsstarke, kostenlos im Internet verfugbare Statistikprogramm >>R>SPSS<< zu verzichten. Das Lehrwerk versteht sich als anwendungsorientiert: Es ist dabei systematisch und daher gerade fur Anfanger (auch ohne weitreichende mathematische Kenntnisse) gut verstandlich, ohne jedoch fur den Fortgeschrittenen auf wissenschaftliche Prazision, komplexere Verfahren und Tiefe durch Zusatzinformationen zu verzichten. Die einzelnen Kapitel des Buches schliessen jeweils mit Aufgaben und Losungen. …
