Ten Lectures on
Cognitive Linguistics presents
ten lectures, in both audio and transcribed text, given by George Lakoff in
Beijing in April 2004. Lakoff gives an account of the background of cognitive
linguistics and basic mechanisms of thought, grammar, neural theory of
language, metaphor, implications for philosophy, and political linguistics. He
does so in a manner that is accessible for anyone, including undergraduate
level students and a general audience. With over 50 years experience as a
leading linguist, and being one of the founding fathers of the field, George
Lakoff is one of the best possible experts to introduce Cognitive Linguistics
to anyone.
