Language Acquisition: The process by which humans acquire the ability to understand and produce language.
Neurolinguistics: The study of the relationship between language and the brain.
Embodied Cognition: The idea that cognition is influenced by our physical experience and interactions with the environment.
Conceptual Metaphor: The use of one concept or domain to understand another, which can shape our thought and language.
Embodied Metaphor: The theory that metaphorical language is grounded in our bodily experiences and sensory perceptions.
Conceptual Blending: The process by which we integrate and connect different conceptual domains to form new meanings and associations.
Cognitive Grammar: A theory of grammar that emphasizes the role of conceptual meaning in language structure.
Prototype Theory: The idea that linguistic categories are structured around a central prototype, based on our experience and knowledge of the world.
Linguistic Relativity: The hypothesis that language shapes the way we perceive and think about the world.
Construction Grammar: A theory of grammar that focuses on the construction of meaning through the combination of words and basic building blocks.
Language and Culture: The study of the relationship between language and social and cultural practices.
Metaphor in Discourse: The study of how metaphor is used in everyday language and in specific discourse contexts.
