Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Linguistics is an interdisciplinary study encompassing linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, which aims to understand how language is used and understood by people. It focuses on how language is used to represent and communicate meaning, how knowledge is represented in thought, and how language use and language structure reflects human mental processes. Cognitive Linguistics has had a major influence on modern linguistics, providing an understanding of the cognitive basis of language, and providing a deeper insight into the relationship between language, cognition, and social interaction. Its applications range from language teaching to natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
