Review

“…most major topics are discussed in great depth. Also, it incorporates topics that are largely ignored in the established Cognitive Linguistics handbooks, e.g. variationist linguistics and non-linguistic applications of cognitive-linguistic concepts. It is therefore highly recommended to anyone interested in Cognitive Linguistics, conceptual metaphor theory, and the application of usage-based linguistics in language pedagogy and beyond.”
