Summary Charles-Louis Longchamp (1802–1874) was the dominant figure in Latin studies in Geneva in the 1850s and 1860s and had a formative influence on the Latin teachers of Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913). Longchamp’s work was in the grammaire générale tradition, which, on account of historical anomalies falling out from the Genevese Revolution of 1846 to 1848, was still being taught in Geneva up to the mid-1870s, despite having been put aside in France in the 1830s and 1840s. Longchamp succeeded briefly in getting his Latin grammars onto the school curriculum, replacing those imported from France, which Longchamp argued were making the Genevese mentally indistinguishable from the French, weakening their power to think for themselves and putting their political independence at risk. His own grammars offered “a sort of bulwark against invasion by the foreign mind, a guarantee against annexation”. Longchamp’s pedagogical approach had echoes in Saussure’s teaching of Germanic languages in Paris in the 1880s, and in the ‘stylistics’ of Saussure’s successor Charles Bally (1865–1947).

Nous proposons une modélisation dynamique, chorématique et topologique de la structuration phrastique et montrons que le sens grammatical relève d'un processus de complémentation qui rend plausible une conception compositionnelle et moins relativiste que celle d'une certaine linguistique cognitive, de la notion de construction. Notre approche montre mieux, nous l'espérons, comment le langage peut simuler la pensée et ainsi nous permettre de la partager. Car la syntaxe est déjà sémantique. Il s'agit de comprendre comment elle peut l'être.

Through our observations of classroom practices, as didacticians and linguists, we note that infinitive constructions governed by a verb of perception (ICP) are only extremely rarely included in French as a Foreign Language teaching programmes. Yet, the perception of reality through the senses is one of the sociolinguistic objectives. In this case, unless we are inattentive, this is a notable gap in didactics that should be filled. We would propose to elucidate the specificities of the French ICP from a semantic-logical and cognitive perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Structurally, cognitive and biological evolution are highly similar. Random variation and constant but blind selection drive evolution within biology as well as within cognition. However, evolution of cognitive programs, and in particular of grammar systems, is not a subclass of biological evolution but a domain of its own. The abstract evolutionary principles, however, are akin in cognitive and biological evolution. In other words, insights gained in the biological domain can be cautiously applied to the cognitive domain. This paper claims that the cognitively encapsulated, i.e. consciously inaccessible, aspects of grammars as cognitively represented systems, that is, the procedural and structural parts of grammars, are subject to, and results of, Darwinian evolution, applying to a domain-specific cognitive program. Other, consciously accessible aspects of language do not fall under Darwinian evolutionary principles, but are mostly instances of social changes.

Cette contribution examine l’apport sémantique de la préposition à dans les cas d’alternance des verbes contredire, parer, satisfaire, toucher et viser. Ces verbes peuvent se construire soit avec un objet direct soit avec un objet indirect introduit par la préposition à. S’inscrivant dans le cadre théorique de la Grammaire Cognitive définie par Langacker (2008), cette étude montre que la différence de sens observée entre la construction directe et indirecte du verbe peut être attribuée au sémantisme abstrait de la préposition à : l’expression d’un but abstrait pour parer et viser, l’expression d’une localisation abstraite pour contredire et satisfaire et les deux sens pour le verbe polysémique toucher.

RÉSUMÉ En wayana, différents opérateurs aspectuels d’état s’associent au nom (animés et inanimés); quatre d’entre eux sont traités dans la présente étude: -me, -ø, -tpë et -npë. Ces morphèmes d’aspect, assez productifs associés au nom, expriment des notions d’état comme un continuum à partir d’un “avant” jusqu’à un “après”. Le jeu des marques grammaticales et la valeur de l’item lexical peuvent fournir des éléments pour une meilleur compréhension de la conception de la temporalité à travers le système des formes temporelles et aspectuelles, ainsi le travail ici présenté propose appréhender les valeurs d’état des suffixes signalés ci-dessus lorsqu’ils sont associé au nom. Pour ce faire, nous nous baseons sur la théorie de la catégorie de l’aspect-temps développée dans la Grammaire Applicative et Cognitive (GAC, 1990), élaborée par le mathématicien et linguiste Jean-Pierre Desclés (Sorbonne–Paris IV, LALIC). MOTS-CLÉS: Amazonie; Wayana; Langue caribe; Grammaire; Temps/Mode/Aspect; Syntaxe; Ethnolinguistique. RESUMO Em wayana, diferentes operadores aspectuais de estado prendem-se ao nome (animados e inanimados); quatro deles são tratados no presente estudo: -me, -ø, -tpë e -npë. Esses marcadores de aspecto, bastante produtivos quando presos a nomes, expressam noções de estado como um continuum a partir de um “antes” até um “depois”. Visto que o jogo de marcas gramaticais e o valor do léxico podem fornecer elementos para uma melhor compreensão da concepção da temporalidade através do sistema de formas temporais e aspectuais, a proposta do presente estudo é apreender os valores de estado dos sufixos acima indicados que se associam ao nome em wayana. Para isso, optamos pela teoria da categoria do aspecto-tempo desenvolvida na Gramática Aplicativa e Cognitiva, GAC (1990), elaborada pelo matemático e lingüista Jean-Pierre Desclés (Sorbonne–Paris IV, LALIC).PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Amazônia; Wayana; Caribe; Gramática; Tempo/Modo/Aspecto; Sintaxe; Etnolingüística.

Full textAbstract:
Jusqu’au début du XIX e siècle, les représentations schématiques n’ont pas trouvé de place dans les traités de grammaire. Tout au plus un format tabulaire s’était-il lentement imposé en lexicographie afin de faciliter la consultation des articles. Ce mode de représentation visuelle était étranger au « style collectif de pensée » des érudits dans le domaine des humanités. C’est l’intuition d’une analogie entre l’évolution des espèces et celle des langues qui a ouvert la voie à un style de pensée ouvert aux représentations schématiques et en premier lieu aux arbres visualisant la généalogie des langues. L’approche du raisonnement visuel, appliquée par l’immunologue polonais Ludwik Fleck à son secteur de recherche dans les années 1930, a anticipé celle de ‘paradigme scientifique’ due au sociologue de sciences Thomas Kuhn en 1962. Avec ses ‘diagrammes existentiels’, Charles Peirce a tenté sans grand écho au tournant du XX e siècle d’appliquer le « raisonnement diagrammatique » aux fondements de la logique. Ronald Langacker a eu plus de succès avec les diagrammes iconiques de sa Grammaire Cognitive un siècle plus tard. Mais c’est surtout en linguistique historique que la controverse initiée dans les années 1860 par Hugo Schuchardt sur la pertinence du Stammbaum des langues indo-européennes d’August Schleicher a eu les répercussions les plus tardives, puisqu’avec les nouveaux « arbres de consensus » de la « phylogénie des langues » les représentations arborescentes sont à nouveau à l’ordre du jour ( cf. Gray et Atkinson, 2003 ; Brown et al. , 2008 ; Lipps et al. , 2018 ; Heggarty et al. , 2023).

En proposant une méthodologie basée sur les postulats de la grammaire cognitive, l’article présente une analyse contrastive français-polonais des extensions métaphoriques, et plus précisément, des relations de catégorisation sur lesquelles elles sont fondées. L’étude porte sur les noms de parties du corps humain désignant des parties des instruments de musique. Elle vise à dévoiler les similitudes et les divergences entre ces catégorisations aux différents niveaux d’abstraction : allant du niveau le plus élevé, par la structure schématique [partie du corps humain] - - - > [partie d’un instrument de musique], jusqu’aux élaborations de cette dernière, c’est-à-dire aux extensions particulières. Celles-ci sont analysées aux trois niveaux d’équivalence : lexical, référentiel et celui des domaines activés. Cela met en évidence quelques types d’équivalence entre les élaborations françaises et polonaises de la structure schématique citée ci-haut.

Comment la polysémie de la causalité morphologique apparaît-elle en français et en chinois ? Afin de répondre à cette question, nous avons appliqué (dans l’article) la grammaire cognitive de constructions de Goldberg (1995) ainsi que la structure d’événement de Croft (2012) pour expliquer la formation sémantique de la causalité morphologique dans ces langues. Les discussions menées dans cet article révèlent que la polysémie de la causalité morphologique se manifeste dans la diversité des relations causales entre les participants des événements causaux, telles qu’elles sont représentées par les énoncés. Cet article s’intéresse particulièrement aux cas liés aux suffixes -iser en français et -化[huà] en chinois. Les verbes dérivés initient une relation de transformation liée au référent de leur base. L’interaction entre les participants de l’événement causal affine et précise cette relation de transformation.

Pour cela, nous analysons les constructions causales por causa de et por conta de afin de montrer que dans certains contextes elles peuvent alterner. Bien que les deux constructions jouent des rôles argumentatifs différents, elles partagent un ensemble de propriétés formelles et sémantiques qui engendrent un espace de variation, surtout si on restreint l’ équivalence sémantique au niveau référentiel. Les résultats de l’analyse permettent d’apporter des arguments favorables à une définition plus stricte du principe de non synonymie.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HA LUGAR PARA VARIAÇÃO NA GRAMATICA DE CONSTRUÇÕES COGNITIVA?

Colocamos em causa, em especial, o princípio da não sinonímia tal como formulado por Goldberg (1995, 2006), principalmente no que se refere à indistinção entre os componentes semântico e pragmático na definição de construção. Para tanto, analisamos as construções causais intraoracionais por causa de e por conta de, com o objetivo de mostrar que elas podem alternar em alguns dos seus contextos. Embora as duas construções desempenhem funções argumentativas distintas, elas partilham um conjunto de propriedades formais e semânticas que criam um espaço de variação, principalmente se restringimos equivalência semântica ao nível referencial. Os resultados obtidos na análise fornecem evidências para argumentar a favor de uma delimitação mais estrita do princípio de não sinonímia.---Original em francês.

Résumé Les Communia gramatice, un compendium grammatical anonyme rédigé autour de 1250 dans le milieu éclectique de la Faculté des arts de Paris et contenu aujourd’hui uniquement dans le manuscrit 16617 du fonds latin de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, traitent entre autres du statut linguistique de l’interjection. La notion de signification, au sens de contenu de connaissances et de rapport référentiel entre un mot et son signifié, y joue un rôle fondamental : la principale difficulté onto-grammaticale présentée par l’interiectio étant précisément de déterminer la nature de sa signification. L’auteur anonyme des Communia gramatice pose clairement la distinction classique entre la signification d’une émotion (affectus) et la signification d’un concept (conceptus), mais y apporte des nuances intéressantes de nature cognitive : nous sommes à une époque où la philosophie naturelle aristotélicienne vient tout juste de rencontrer la grammaire spéculative typiquement parisienne (vers 1240).

Cognitive linguistics (cognitology) is a branch of linguistics that has been intensively developing in science in recent decades. Being an interdisciplinary field of research, cognitology considers human cognition of the surrounding world in relation to natural language. Cognitive linguistics studies language as a cognitive mechanism that plays a role in the coding and transformation of language. The goal of the cognitive linguistics is to understand how the processes of perception, categorization, classification, and the comprehension of the World, how knowledge is accumulated.

L'article présente deux applications de la théorie des nceuds et des entrelacs à l'univers musical. La première application est une classification des séries de douze sons selon des structures particulières appelées diagrammes de cordes. Cette taxinomie conduit à une nouvelle hiérarchie des structures profondes du lexique dodécaphonique. La chiralité et les degrés de symétrie des formes sérlelles sont directement accessibles sur ces diagrammes qui rŕsument les propriétés intrinsèques de la série, La forme schématique nodale remplit ainsi la double fonction d'integration méronymique et de contrôle combinatoire. La deuxlème application est une approche des problèmes du tempérament musical et de l'analyse des systèmes acoustiques contemporains par coloration des entrelacs. A chaque arc de la représentation planaire d'un nœud est associée une fréquence (appelée aussi couleur) du système acoustique envisagé. Lors du passage d'un arc à un autre par croisement des brins du nœud, la fréquence évolue selon les règles d'une grammaire prédéfinie, L'entrelacs ainsi étiqueté — appelé nœud polychrome — décnt complètement l'accord du système acoustique. Des questions théoriques comme la transposition des échelles tonales dans des univers nontempérés ou les variations micro-intervalliques dans Ie champ compositionnel s'etudient de manière naturelle à l'aide de ces nouvelles catégories musicales.

Summary This paper examines the phonological split of Latin /tj/ and /kj/ in Italian within a cognitive, prototype framework, in which sound change is characterized as phonetically and lexically gradual. The analysis reveals that (1) the process by which speakers assign the allophonic variants produced by assimilation of the dental and velar to the following yod to their respective phonemes can be described as prototype categorization, which is argued to be the cognitive dynamic underlying lexical diffusion, (2) grammatically conditioned lexical diffusion, or the formation of cognitive schemata, in a small set of derived verbs is limited to only a few members, and is not necessarily associated with the late stages of change, as predicted by Labov (1981, 1994) and (3) the distinction between ‘innovation’ and ‘propagation’ (Croft (2000), Janda & Joseph (2001a,b)) more accurately characterizes the early and late stages of sound change than Labov’s dichotomy between neogrammarian change and lexically/grammatically conditioned lexical diffusion. Résumé Cet article étudie la scission phonologique, en italien, des sons /tj/ et /kj/ du latin. Cet article s’effectue dans un cadre cognitif et prototypique, selon lequel un changement phonologique se produit de manière graduelle, tant sur le plan phonétique que lexical. L’analyse révèle que (1) le processus par lequel les locuteurs attribuent les variantes allophoniques (produites par l’assimilation des dentales et vélaires au yod suivant) à leurs phonèmes respectifs peut être décrit comme un “prototype de catégorisation”, qui serait la dynamique cognitive à la base de la diffusion lexicale, (2) la diffusion lexicale conditionnée grammaticalement, ou la création de schèmes, dans un petit groupe de verbes dérivés, ne se limite qu’à un petit nombre de membres, et n’est pas nécessairement associée aux étapes ultérieures du changement, comme le soutient Labov, et (3) la distinction entre “innovation” et “propagation” caractérise de manière plus juste les premières étapes ainsi que les étapes ultérieures de changement phonologique que ne le fait la dichotomie entre le changement néo-grammairien et la diffusion lexicale conditionnée au niveau du lexique et de la grammaire. Zusammenfassung Im vorliegenden Aufsatz wird die phonologische Spaltung von lat. /tj/ und /kj/ im Italienischen im Rahmen einer kognitiven Prototypentheorie untersucht, derzufolge Lautwandel als sowohl phonetisch als auch lexikalisch graduell verstanden wird. Folgendes wird dadurch deutlich: (1) Der Prozeß, durch den Sprecher die allophonischen Varianten, die durch Assimilation der dentalen und velaren Konsonanten zum folgenden /j/ entstehen, den jeweiligen Phonemen zuweisen, kann als Prototypenkategorisierung beschrieben werden. Hier wird argumentiert, dass diese Kategorisierung die kognitive Dynamik sei, die der lexikalischen Diffusion zugrundeliegt. (2) Grammatikalisch bedingte lexikalische Diffusion (oder, besser gesagt, die Entstehung entsprechender kognitiver Schemata) in einer kleinen Gruppe abgeleiteter Verben beschränkt sich auf wenige Formen und ist nicht unbedingt, wie von Labov vorhergesagt, mit späten Stadien des Lautwandels verbunden. (3) Die Unterscheidung zwischen ‘Innovation’ und ‘Propagation’ erfaßt Differenzen zwischen frühen und späten Stadien des Lautwandels genauer als die Labovsche Dichotomie zwischen Lautwandel im Sinne der Junggrammatiker und lexikalisch/grammatikalisch bedingter lexikalischer Diffusion.

The article presents the cognitive basis of the differentiation and definition of names in word classes. Cognitively analyzed substantivation, qualification and quantification and their circularity explain grammaticalization as a process. Definiteness as a categorical phenomenon of names is a syncretic grammaticalization of a cognitive-perspective minimum. Pronouns are not considered here, since their cognitive specificity does not contain the initiality of the nominative. Pronouns are the subject of a separate analysis in our other works.

Using multiple languages may confer distinct advantages in cognitive control, yet it is unclear whether bilingualism is associated with better implicit statistical learning, a core cognitive ability underlying language. We tested bilingual adults on a challenging task requiring simultaneous learning of two miniature grammars characterized by different statistics. We found that participants learned each grammar significantly better than chance and both grammars equally well. Crucially, a validated continuous measure of bilingual dominance predicted accuracy scores for both artificial grammars in a generalized linear model. The study thus demonstrates the first graded advantage in learning novel statistical relations in adult bilinguals.

Cognitive linguistics views linguistic cognition as indistinguishable from general cognition and thus seeks explanation of linguistic phenomena in terms of general cognitive strategies, such as metaphor, metonymy, and blending. Grammar and lexicon are viewed as parts of a single continuum and thus expected to be subject to the same cognitive strategies. Significant developments within cognitive linguistics in the past two decades include construction grammar and the application of quantitative methods to analyses.

Abstract This paper describes the continuing goals and present status of the ICSI/UC Berkeley efforts on Embodied Construction Grammar (ECG). ECG is semantics-based formalism grounded in cognitive linguistics. ECG is the most explicitly inter-disciplinary of the construction grammars with deep links to computation, neuroscience, and cognitive science. Work continues on core cognitive, computational, and linguistic issues, including aspects of the mind/body problem. Much of the recent emphasis has been on applications and on tools to facilitate new applications. Extensive documentation plus downloadable systems and grammars can be found at the ECG Homepage.1

La corrélativité étant pratiquement la caractéristique principale des structures comparatives et consécutives, nous nous sommes donné la tâche de répondre, partant toujours du français pour aller vers le serbe, aux questions suivantes : 1. Est-ce que la corrélativité fonctionne de la même façon dans les deux langues? 2. Est-ce que la forme QUE aura toujours comme équivalent DA en serbe dans les structures corrélatives? et 3. Si les QUE et DA ne sont pas toujours équivalents, en quoi consiste la différence? Le corpus pour cette étude est extrait des textes littéraires français et leurs traductions en serbe. En s’appuyant sur l’analyse contrastive, la théorie cognitive et l’approche sémantique, ce travail fera voir les ressemblances et les différences structurales et sémantiques des structures comparatives d’un côté et d’autre d’un type de structures syntaxiques qui, en linguistique française, échappent à une classification uniforme de propositions subordonnées (propositions subordonnées circonstancielles de conséquence ou un type particulier de propositions?), ce qui n’est pas le cas dans la grammaire serbe où ces structures appartiennent à la classe de propositions subordonnées adverbiales, à savoir de conséquence.

The present study investigated the processing of two types of artificial grammars by means of event-related brain potentials. Two categories of meaningless CV syllables were applied in each grammar type. The two grammars differed with regard to the type of the underlying rule. The finite-state grammar (FSG) followed the rule (AB)n, thereby generating local transitions between As and Bs (e.g., n = 2, ABAB). The phrase structure grammar (PSG) followed the rule AnBn, thereby generating center-embedded structures in which the first A and the last B embed the middle elements (e.g., n = 2, [A[AB]B]). Two sequence lengths (n = 2, n = 4) were used. Violations of the structures were introduced at different positions of the syllable sequences. Early violations were situated at the beginning of a sequence, and late violations were placed at the end of a sequence. A posteriorly distributed early negativity elicited by violations was present only in FSG. This effect was interpreted as the possible reflection of a violated local expectancy. Moreover, both grammar-type violations elicited a late positivity. This positivity varied as a function of the violation position in PSG, but not in FSG. These findings suggest that the late positivity could reflect difficulty of integration in PSG sequences.

AbstractThis paper examines, on the basis of a longitudinal corpus of 50 early modern authors, how change at the aggregate level of the community interacts with variation and change at the micro-level of the individual language user. In doing so, this study aims to address the methodological gap between collective change and entrenchment, that is, the gap between language as a social phenomenon and the cognitive processes responsible for the continuous reorganization of linguistic knowledge in individual speakers. Taking up the case of the prepositional passive, this study documents a strong community-wide increase in use that is accompanied by increasing schematicity. A comparison of the 50 authors reveals that regularities arising at the macro-level conceal highly complex and variable individual behavior, aspects of which may be explained by studying the larger (social) context in which these individuals operate (e. g., age cohorts, community of practice, biographical insights). Further analysis, focusing on how authors use the prepositional passive in unique and similar ways, elucidates the role of small individual biases in long-term change. Overall, it is demonstrated that language change is an emergent phenomenon that results from the complex interaction between individual speakers, who themselves may change their linguistic behavior to varying degrees.

Semantic Syntax (SeSyn), originally called Generative Semantics, is an offshoot of Chomskyan generative grammar (ChoGG), rejected by Chomsky and his school in the late 1960s. SeSyn is the theory of algorithmical grammars producing the well-formed sentences of a language L from the corresponding semantic input, the Semantic Analysis (SA), represented as a traditional tree structure diagram in a specific formal language of incremental predicate logic with quantifying and qualifying operators (including the truth functions), and with all lexical items filled in. A SeSyn-type grammar is thus by definition transformational, but not generative. The SA originates in cognition in a manner that is still largely mysterious, but its actual form can be distilled from the Surface Structure (SS) of the sentences of L following the principles set out in SeSyn. In this presentation we provide a more or less technical résumé of the SeSyn theory. A comparison is made with ChoGG-type grammars, which are rejected on account of their intrinsic unsuitability as a cognitive-realist grammar model. The ChoGG model follows the pattern of a 1930s neopositivist Carnap-type grammar for formal logical languages. Such grammars are random sentence generators, whereas, obviously, (nonpathological) humans are not. A ChoGG-type grammar is fundamentally irreconcilable with a mentalist-realist theory of grammar. The body of the paper consists in a demonstration of the production of an English and a French sentence, the latter containing a classic instance of the cyclic rule of Predicate Raising (PR), essential in the general theory of clausal complementation yet steadfastly repudiated in ChoGG for reasons that have never been clarified. The processes and categories defined in SeSyn are effortlessly recognised in languages all over the world, whether indigenous or languages of a dominant culture—taking into account language-specific values for the general theoretical parameters involved. This property makes SeSyn particularly relevant for linguistic typology, which now ranks as the most promising branch of linguistics but has so far conspicuously lacked an adequate theoretical basis.

Abstract Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) is one of the most influential grammars used in stylistics, but more recently the discipline has witnessed a growing body of work using cognitive grammars to explain stylistic effects. This research has tended to make the positive case for cognitive grammar (CG) by demonstrating its similarity to functionalist approaches. However, it is also necessary to say how CG adds to an SFG account of literary effects. To do so, I return to Halliday’s seminal analysis of Golding’s novel, The Inheritors. I use CG to investigate the conceptual processes involved in the reader’s interpretation of the character’s deviant mindstyle and outline some of the ludic and dramatic effects of these reconstrual operations. Thus, whereas SFG focuses on describing the ideational structure of the representations proffered by texts, I argue that a unique affordance of CG is its focus on the readerly construction of meaning.

Full textAbstract:
This paper points out that certain frequently used terms in linguistic literature, such as“prominent/salient” and “background/ground”, are in fact interpreted differently or even contrarily in Functional Grammar and Cognitive Grammar. The paper attributes their diversified interpretations to the fundamental differences between these two linguistic schools in terms of paradigm and methodology, i.e. to focus on communicative activities of speech and discourse rules or on cognitive abilities and rules. The paper claims that “prominence” as a concept in cognitive grammar mainly relates to the speaker’s concerns, and can be more specifically reworded as topicality or accessibility since it, while conflicting with the focus-stress pattern, mostly conforms to the syntactic hierarchy of syntactic functions and the accessibility hierarchy of NPs, with the case being that the higher position an element occupies in the syntactic hierarchy the more prominent it is cognitively; “prominence” in Functional Grammar, however, mainly relates to the communicative function and the information status of the relevant elements, which thus can be more specifically reworded as focus or focusing, and it mostly conforms to the focus-stress pattern but conflicts with the syntactic hierarchy, with the case being that the more deeply an element is syntactically embedded the more prominent it is functionally. Some controversial opinions about emphasized elements in certain Chinese constructions might arise from the diversified interpretations of the relevant terms. On this basis, the paper further discusses certain problems existing in the ‘figure-background’ theory in cognitive grammar.

Use of archaeological evidence in discussions of the origin and evolution of grammar has proved unconvincing largely because of undeveloped theoretical assumptions about the cognitive connection between language and tool behaviour. This paper examines the cognitive basis of tool use and tool making and concludes that there is no sound theoretical basis for inferring grammatical abilities from prehistoric stone tools. Our knowledge concerning the cognitive basis of tool behaviour can, however, be used to document evolutionary developments in hominid cognition. Analysis of early biface culture, for example, reveals a cognitive complexity greater than that demonstrable for the earlier Oldowan or for modern apes.

Abstract
The article offers a cognitive subject-oriented perspective on language and its acquisition with a focus on grammar. By sketching out the cognitive mechanisms of languaging ‘conceptual complexes’ or mental categories through grammar means, the authors endeavour to define and formulate their semantic representations which are supposed to meet three prime objectives, namely to 1) reflect the orientation effect of grammar forms and constructions used in the process of speech production as coordination of his/her own interactions; 2) interpret the meaningful content and mental imaging associated in the subject's mind with this or that grammar form; 3) serve as an auxiliary technique in understanding and explaining English grammar for various teaching and learning purposes. The proposed approach and delineated technique are showcased by the verbs forms of present simple and present progressive whose cognitive essence and interpretative models are described and analysed in minute detail.
Keywords: Cognitive grammar; cognition, English tense forms, simple and progressive tenses

"The markedness principle in Brazilian Portuguese verb-based discourse markers viu? and entendeu?. A productive, vigorous debate on grammar issues took place as the new millennium approached. A significant amount of work was published in that field as we witnessed a grammatical boom between 1991 and 2014 in Brazil (Faraco and Vieira 2016). Along with a resulting new range of descriptive perspectives and propositions, the debate over discourse markers (DMs) relevance has increased sharply among language curriculum professionals. Although they have played an important role in functionalist grammars where interaction is a key component, DMs are still regarded as a peripheral category in natural language normative grammars. Also, DMs are typically associated with language users’ social status. Based on cognitive-functionalist grammar studies, my research has placed DMs on the common ground between a functionalist framework (by investigating the relationship between form and content) and cognitive linguistics theory (categorization, prototypicality, conceptual metaphors). This paper explores some of my research findings on the markedness principle as applied to Brazilian Portuguese DMs viu? and entendeu? in the light of cognitive-functionalist theories. Some contrast between these DMs and their English equivalent is also explored. In doing so, I hope to bring forward new resources to explore verb-based DMs in teaching Portuguese to speakers of other languages.

Over the course of the last twenty-five years, linguistic theory has established itself as providing one of the major routes towards an understanding of the human mind. With increasing precision we have been able to address the problem of articulating in detail the structured capacities the human mind brings to the problem of language acquisition. Along the way there have been doubters, much of the doubt having arisen because of the apparently unbridgeable gap the theory demands between the language user's capacity and the interaction of this capacity with more general cognitive skills. Such doubters as there were received little reassurance from looking at work on performance or language use, for there has been little more than speculative philosophy on the one hand (most notably by Paul Grice, 1975) and articulation of detailed processing mechanisms on the other (e.g. Fodor, 1978; Frazier, 1979; Frazier & Fodor, 1978), without any overall theory. J. A. Fodor (1982, 1983) has led the field in cognitive psychology with his representational theory of mind. But we have till now had no theory of the central cognitive mechanism. Relevance Theory (Sperber & Wilson, 1986) provides us with a contender. It makes specific claims about the central cognitive mechanism and about the relation of natural language to that central mechanism. Against this framework, we are at last able to formulate precise proposals about the grammar-cognition interface, and in so doing provide answers to the psychological reality questions which have gone unanswered for so long: What is the relation of grammars to utterance–interpretation? What is the nature of the link between grammars and the central cognitive mechanism? What is the relation between a speaker's knowledge of his language and his general knowledge?

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to highlight the relationship between grammar, cognition and society, identifying cognitive and social processes applied to grammatical constructions in Portuguese and their correlations. First, we will characterize certain cognitive operations that play an important role in grammar and that make it an efficient conceptual structuring and communication system: construal (our ability to view, conceive and portray the same situation in alternate ways); objectivity vs. subjectivity (the construal of a scene as detached or not from the conceptualizer); prominence (the focusing of attention on some aspects of a situation); mental spaces (packages of encyclopedic knowledge built and evoked in the current discourse); and inferences about the speaker’s intended meanings. Then, we will show how these cognitive operations (which are common to language and other cognitive faculties, such as perception, attention, and memory) are configured and conditioned by sociocultural factors and communicative efficiency processes – hence the importance of intersubjectivity and cultural conceptualization, and the need for systematically including intralinguistic variation in grammar. The answer to the question of the correlation between cognitive processes and social processes in grammar is based on the cognitive science notion of social cognition and on multivariate and sociocognitive grammar models. A usage-based grammar implies a deconstruction of the linguistic system in favor of a view of language in its inevitable variability as a complex dynamic system and the construction of a multifactorial grammar model that may adequately unravel, through multivariate quantitative methods, the interplay between conceptual, structural and social factors. Finally, we will illustrate these principles of a grammar of meanings, uses and variations (in contrast with traditional perspective of a grammar of forms, structures and rules) with three studies on constructional variation in Portuguese. They are part of our sociocognitive and sociolectometrical research into convergence and divergence between European and Brazilian Portuguese: se constructions (reflexive, reciprocal, middle, anticausative, passive, impersonal) and the null se constructions; prepositional relative constructions and their chopping and resumptive counterparts; and the alternation between inflected and uninflected infinitival constructions.

Cognitive Grammar analyses the semantics of linguistic features in relation to human cognition; Free Indirect Style allows authors to represent their characters’ cognition with language. This article applies Cognitive Grammar to the analysis of a character’s mind that is represented with Free Indirect Style. In the tradition of mind style analysis, it aims to use linguistics to reveal some of the underlying cognitive processes and proclivities at work in the character’s psychology. The character in question is the protagonist in Malcolm Lowry’s Under the Volcano, an alcoholic who is largely characterised by his drunken behaviour and ideation. This article therefore focuses on the linguistic features that serve to represent his inebriated state of mind. It analyses the semantic effects of those features primarily in terms of attentional focus, drawing on Cognitive Grammar concepts, such as objective construal, specificity, scope, profile and domain, and relating these to the protagonist’s cognitive proclivities for solipsism, partial awareness, delayed reaction, attenuated experience and self-delusion. The article also discusses the theoretical background for mind style analysis, arguing for the continued importance of focusing on the relationship between the text and a character’s mind, alongside the focus on the reader’s mind that has come to dominate cognitive stylistics.

This special issue includes a collection of papers on language and intersubjctivity. There are two paradigms in linguistic approaches to intersubjectivity; cognitive linguistics and interactional linguistics, but these two paradigms hardly ever meet. This is due to the fact that these paradigms have opposing views on cognition and mental events. However, both these paradigms draw from phenomenology: whereas cognitive linguistic approaches to intersubjectivity have their basis on Husserl's philosophy, interactional linguistics is influenced by ethnomethodological conversation analysis and the philosophy of Schutz. Despite the apparent differences between these approaches, there are convergences, too. Moreover, both approaches are needed for a full account of language and human intersubjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
Recent artificial-grammar learning (AGL) paradigms driven by the Chomsky hierarchy paved the way for direct comparisons between humans and animals in the learning of center embedding ([A[AB]B]). The AnBn grammars used by the first generation of such research lacked a crucial property of center embedding, where the pairs of elements are explicitly matched ([A1 [A2 B2] B1]). This type of indexing is implemented in the second-generation AnBn grammars. This paper reviews recent studies using such grammars. Against the premises of these studies, we argue that even those newer AnBn grammars cannot test the learning of syntactic hierarchy. These studies nonetheless provide detailed information about the conditions under which human adults can learn an AnBn grammar with indexing. This knowledge serves to interpret recent animal studies, which make surprising claims about animals’ ability to handle center embedding.

Full textAbstract:
In an artificial grammar learning study, Lai & Poletiek (2011) found that human participants could learn a center-embedded recursive grammar only if the input during training was presented in a staged fashion. Previous studies on artificial grammar learning, with randomly ordered input, failed to demonstrate learning of such a center-embedded structure. In the account proposed here, the staged input effect is explained by a fine-tuned match between the statistical characteristics of the incrementally organized input and the development of human cognitive learning over time, from low level, linear associative, to hierarchical processing of long distance dependencies. Interestingly, staged input seems to be effective only for learning hierarchical structures, and unhelpful for learning linear grammars.

The aim of this paper is a cognitive grammar analysis of noun phrases in German which contain a proper noun. It is common for proper nouns in German, like first names, surnames, the names of cities and countries, to occur without an article. They can, however, also occur with the definite article, the demonstrative pronoun or with the indefinite article. There are also proper nouns in German, such as the names of rivers, mountain ranges, and some countries, which—according to many grammars—obligatorily occur with the definite article. However, it may happen that even those occur without an article. Whether there is an article before a proper noun or not is regarded as a grammatical phenomenon, without acknowledging its semantic aspects. The latter are only considered in a very few cases. A cognitive grammar analysis makes it possible to look at the abovementioned phenomena from the semanticconceptual perspective, thus ensuring wider opportunities to explain and describe them. According to cognitive grammar, every use of any element should have a semantic-conceptual motivation. The cognitive grammar analysis of German noun phrases containing a proper noun carried out in this article allows us to conclude that the use of articles in the German language is in most cases determined by the speaker’s intention. The analysis in this paper includes a description of noun phrases containing proper nouns selected from the German magazine Der Spiegel.
