I have restricted my selection to published books (including both monographs, edited volumes and volumes in press). The reading list is annotated and divided into three sections: General Introductions to Cognitive Linguistics Works of General Reference, and Specific Topics and Theories Note however, the following overview article, available on-line from my website: Evans, Vyvyan; Benjamin Bergen and J?rg Zinken (In press.) Cognitive Linguistics: An Overview. In V. Evans, B. Bergen and J. Zinken (eds.). The Cognitive Linguistics Reader. London: Equinox. General Introductions to Cognitive Linguistics Croft, W., & Cruse, A. D. (2004). Cognitive Linguistics. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. A recent introduction to cognitive linguistics. Particularly good coverage of lexical semantics and constructional approaches to grammar, although less detail on other aspects of cognitive linguistics. Evans, V., & Green, M. (2006). Cognitive Linguistics: An Introduction. Mahwah, NJ and Edinburgh: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates/Edinburgh University Press. The most comprehensive general introduction to the field. Each chapter provides a detailed annotated reading list and exercises. Also includes chapters which compare cognitive linguistic theories with other theoretical frameworks. Lee, D. (2001). Cognitive Linguistics: An Introduction. Oxford: Oxford University Press. The most accessible of the general introductions, focusing on general ideas rather than detail. The selection of topics covered, is, nevertheless, a little uneven. Ungerer, F., & Schmid, H.-J. (1996). Introduction to Cognitive Linguistics. London: Longman. Very clear explanations of the areas presented, particularly on prototype and basic level objects research. However, the coverage is rather one-sided focusing on cognitive semantics at the expense of cognitive approaches to grammar. The book is also now over 10 years old. Works of General Reference Evans, V. (Forthcoming). Glossary of Cognitive Linguistics. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press. A glossary of over 350 specialist terms used in cognitive linguistics. Geeraerts, D., & Cuyckens, H. (2006). Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics. Oxford: Oxford University Press. A major reference work containing original encyclopedia-like articles by leading experts. Provides comprehensive coverage of all the key areas of cognitive linguistics. Janssen, T., & Redeker, G. (1999). Cognitive Linguistics: Foundations, Scope and Methodology. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. An edited volume containing original articles by a selection of leading cognitive linguists. The articles address the theoretical and empirical basis of cognitive linguistics, and cognitive linguistic theories. Specific Topics and Theories BLENDING THEORY Coulson, S. (2000). Semantic Leaps: Frame-Shifting and Conceptual Blending in Meaning Construction. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. An important study on the role of conceptual blending in language comprehension. Fauconnier, G., & Turner, M. (2002). The Way We Think: Conceptual Blending and the Mind’s Hidden Complexities. New York: Basic Books. The definitive introduction to conceptual blending by the two architects of the theory. Highly accessible. CATEGORISATION Lakoff, G. (1987). Women, Fire and Dangerous Things: What Categories Reveal About the Mind. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. One of the classic texts in cognitive linguistics. Lakoff makes the case for a novel theory of cognitive models in order to account for recent findings in human categorisation. Also provides a philosophical framework for research in cognitive linguistics which remains influential. Taylor, J. (2003). Linguistic Categorization, 3rd edition. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Provides a highly accessible account of cognitive linguistic approaches to typicality effects and fuzzy categories as manifested in language. COGNITIVE GRAMMAR Langacker, R. (1987/1991). Foundations of Cognitive Grammar, Volumes I and II. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. Volume I of Langacker’s two-volume edifice lays out the theoretical assumptions of his theory. Volume II applies the theoretical architecture to a range of grammatical phenomena. These volumes are among the most important in cognitive linguistics. Taylor, J. (2002). Cognitive Grammar. Oxford: Oxford University Press. An excellent textbook introduction to Langacker’s theory. COGNITIVE PSYCHOLINGUISTICS D_browska, E. (2004). Language, Mind and Brain: Some Psychological and Neurological Constraints on Grammar. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press. An excellent and highly accessible overview and review of the cognitive linguistic position with respect to key issues in psychologuistics, including language acqusition, lateralisation and modularity. Also includes a review of cognitive linguistic criticsims of Chomsky’s Universal Grammar hypothesis. COGNITIVE LEXICAL SEMANTICS Cuyckens, H., & Zawada, B. (2001). Polysemy in Cognitive Linguistics. Amsterdam, NJ: John Benjamins. An edited collection of original articles presenting contemporary work and views on modelling lexical polysemy in cognitive linguistics.

An excellent representative selection of original articles relating to contemporary approaches to cognitive lexical semantics. Nerlich, B., Todd, Z., Herman, V., & Clarke, D. D. (2003). Polysemy: Flexible Patterns in the Mind. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. Another recent collected volume of papers on linguistic polysemy. However, the strength of this volume, in addition to including excellent review articles by the editors and John Taylor, also includes contributions from a range of scholars, including those who work in frameworks outside cognitive linguistics. Tyler, A., & Evans, V. (2003). The Semantics of English Prepositions: Spatial Scenes, Embodied Experience and Cognition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. The most detailed cognitive linguistic study of English spatial relations. The book makes the case for the experiential basis of prepositional meanings and their extensions. It also provides an account of polysemy as conceptual in nature. CONCEPTUAL METAPHOR AND METONYMY Barcelona, A. (2003). Metaphor and Metonymy at the Crossroads: A Cognitive Perspective. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. A collection of original articles addressing the relationship between metaphor and metonymy. Several of the articles reflect the growing conviction in cognitive linguistics that metonymy may be as, or even more, foundational than metaphor. Dirven, R, P?rings, R. (2002). Metaphor and Metonymy in Comparison and Contrast. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. A collection reproducing seminal and influential articles relating to conceptual metaphor and metonymy. Gibbs, R. (1994).

Oxford: Oxford University Press. An accessible textbook introduction to Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Gibbs, R., & Steen, G. (1999). Metaphor in Cognitive Linguistics. Amsterdam, NJ: John Benjamins. An edited collection of original papers broadly reflecting the nature and scope of recent research within the framework of Conceptual Metaphor Theory. CONSTRUCTIONAL APPROACHES TO GRAMMAR Croft, W. (2002). Radical Construction Grammar. Oxford: Oxford University Press. Pr esents Croft’s theory of Radical Construction Grammar. Goldberg, A. (1995). Constructions: A Construction Grammar Approach to Verbal Argument Structure. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. A classic. Makes a compelling case for a constructional approach to grammar employing verbal argument constructions as a test case. ?stman, J.-O., & Fried, M. (2005).

EMPIRICAL APPROACHES Gonzalez-Marquez, M., Mittelberg, I., Coulson, S., & Spivey, M. J. (Eds) (2005), Empirical Methods in Cognitive Linguistics. Amsterdam, NJ: John Benjamins. A recent edited volume comprising original articles by prominent cognitive linguists and psychologists. The collection both makes the case for empirical methods in cognitive linguistics and represents the state-of-the-art. IMAGE SCHEMA s Hampe, B. (2005). From Perception to Meaning: Image Schemas in Cognitive Linguistics. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. An outstanding recent contribution to image schema theory. An edited collection of papers by leading scholars presenting a range of often conflicting positions on the nature of image schemas. Johnson, M. (1987). The Body in the Mind: The Bodily Basis of Meaning, Imagination and Reason. Chicago: Chicago University Press. One of the classic texts in cognitive linguistics. Provides the first detailed treatment of image schemas. Mandler, J. (2004). The Foundations of Mind: Origins of Conceptual Thought. Oxford: Oxford University Press. An important study by a leading developmental psychologist. Mandler describes how image schemas derive from perceptual experience in pre-linguistic infants.

Brings together, and updates, Talmy’s classic papers in which he explores how language encodes various aspects of conceptual structure including space, forcedynamics and motion. LANGUAGE CHANGE Croft, W. (2000). Explaining Language Change: An Evolutionary Perspective. London: Longman. A seminal work by one of the most original thinkers currently working in cognitive linguistics. Croft presents a usage-based theory of language change which applies insights from the generalised theory of natural selection to language. Sweetser, E. (1990). From Etymology to Pragmatics: Metaphorical and Cultural Aspects of Semantic Structure. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Another highly influential and now classic text in cognitive linguistics. Sweetser uses ideas from metaphor theory and image schema theory in order to account for semantic aspects of grammatical change. LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY AND RELATIVITY Gentner, D., & Goldin-Meadow, S. (2003). Language in Mind: Advances in the Study of Language and Thought. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. A recent collection of original papers by some of the most prominent cognitive scientists who work on cross-linguistic diversity and the relationship between language, mind and thought. Gumperz, J., & Levinson, S. (1996) (Eds.). Rethinking Linguistic Relativity. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. An important collection of articles from the mid 1990s which did much to revitalise the linguistic relativity debate. Of particular importance are articles by Bowerman, Lucy, Levinson, and Slobin. Levinson, S. (2003). Space in Language and Cognition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. An extremely important book.
