"El sueño de Martina" es un cuento que plantea la felicidad de todos los niños del mundo, sin distinción de razas o credos. Nunca se debe renunciar a un sueño si éste es noble y merece convertirse en realidad, por muy utopico e inalcanzable que nos parezca. Porque si crees en el, lo deseas de verdad y pones de tu parte todo lo que dependa de ti, muchas veces el sueño se convierte en realidad.En "El sueño de Martina" tambien se evidencia el papel que los abuelos desempeñan en la educacion de sus nietos. No se trata de una educacion cientifica y sistematicamente programada, responde mas bien a lecciones ocasionales impartidas con una pedagogia y didactica infalibles, porque estan basadas en el cariño y respeto mutuo entre abuelos y nietos.Por ultimo, "El sueño de Martina" puede utilizarse como recurso didactico en el area de lenguaje, ya que esta escrito en castellano e ingles, Ademas las intervenciones de cada personaje y del narrador se escriben con tintas de diferentes colores, al objeto de facilitar la lectura en grupo o su escenificacion.

From the point of view of psychology and cognitive science, much of modern linguistics is too formal and mathematical to be of much use. The New Psychology of Language volumes broke new ground by introducing functional and cognitive approaches to language structure in terms already familiar to psychologists, thus defining the next era in the scientific study of language.The Classic Edition volumes re-introduce some of the most important cognitive and functional linguists working in the field. They include a new introduction by Michael Tomasello in which he reviews what has changed since the volumes first published and highlights the fundamental insights of the original authors. The New Psychology of Language volumes are a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how cognitive and functional linguistics has become the thriving perspective on the scientific study of language that it is today.

This volume presents a synthesis of cognitive linguistic theory and research on first and second language acquistion, language processing, individual differences in linguistic knowledge, and on the role of multi-word chunks and low-level schemas in language production and comprehension. It highlights the tension between "linguists' grammars", which are strongly influenced by principles such as economy and elegance, and "speakers' grammars", which are often messy, less than fully general, and sometimes inconsistent, and argues that cognitive linguistics is an empirical science which combines study of real usage events and experiments which rigorously test specific hypotheses.

In Ten Lectures on Cognitive Linguistics and the Unification of Spoken and Signed Languages Sherman Wilcox suggests that rather than abstracting away from the material substance of language, linguists can discover the deep connections between signed and spoken languages by taking an embodied view.

This lively lecture series by a leading expert introduces the theory, practice and application of a versatile, rigorous and well-developed approach to cross-linguistic semantics: the NSM approach originated by Anna Wierzbicka. Topics include: history and philosophy of the study of meaning, semantic primes and molecules, emotions, evaluation, verbs and event structure, cultural key words and scripts. Case studies come from English, Chinese, Danish, and other languages. Applications in language teaching and intercultural education are also covered, along with comparisons between NSM and other leading approaches to linguistic semantics. The book will appeal to students and scholars of linguistics at all levels, communication and translation scholars, and anyone interested in a systematic and non Anglocentric approach to meaning, culture and cognition.

The first four lectures revolve around field semantics - research methods for studying linguistic meaning under fieldwork conditions. The remaining six lectures deal with semantic typology, the crosslinguistic study of how humans communicate about the world in terms of the meaning categories of the languages they speak. Together, the lectures present one of the first comprehensive introductions to either topic. A thread pervading the lectures involves the following questions: how much do languages vary in how they represent reality? To what extent does this variation reflect cultural differences? To what extent does it influence the nonverbal thinking of the speaker

These lectures provide a basic introduction to the linguistic theory known as Cognitive Grammar. It is argued that a conceptualist semantics, well motivated in its own terms, provides the basis for a symbolic view of grammar. Consisting in the structuring and symbolization of conceptual content, grammar is inherently meaningful, and basic grammatical notions have conceptual characterizations. An account is given of grammatical categories, markings, and constructions. A number of central topics are examined in detail, including subjects, possessives, locatives, voice, and impersonals.Detalles del producto

"Cognitive linguistics is purported to be a usage-based approach, yet only recently has research in some of its subfields turned to spontaneous spoken (versus written) language data. The collection of Alan Cienki's 'Ten Lectures on Spoken Language and Gesture from the Perspective of Cognitive Linguistics' considers what it means to apply different approaches from within this field to the dynamic, multimodal combination of speech and gesture. The lectures encompass such main paradigms as blending and mental space theory, conceptual metaphor and metonymy, construction and cognitive grammars, image schemas, and mental simulation in relation to semantics. Overall, Alan Cienki shows that taking the usage-based commitment seriously with audio-visual data raises new issues and questions for theoretical models in cognitive linguistics."

In this book, Stefan Th. Gries provides an overview on how quantitative corpus methods can provide insights to cognitive/usage-based linguistics and selected psycholinguistic questions. Topics include the corpus linguistics in general, its most important methodological tools, its statistical nature, and the relation of all these topics to past and current usage-based theorizing. Central notions discussed in detail include frequency, dispersion, context, and others in a variety of applications and case studies; four practice sessions offer short introductions of how to compute various corpus statistics with the open source programming language and environment R.

The present book contains a transcribed version of the lectures given by Professor Zoltan Koevecses in November 2010 as one of the three forum speakers for the 8th China International Forum on Cognitive Linguistics. The topics presented in this book deal with the language and conceptualization of emotions, cross-cultural variation in metaphor, metaphor and metonymy in discourse, and the issue of the relationship between language, mind, and culture from a cognitive linguistic perspective.

In this interdisciplinary collection of lectures, Chris Sinha presents a uniquely cultural, developmental and evolutionary approach to cognitive linguistics. Topics range from language in childrens play, through cultural conceptualizations of time, to philosophical and linguistic relativism.

As we think and talk, rich arrays of mental spaces and connections between them are constructed unconsciously. Conceptual integration of mental spaces leads to new meaning, global insight, and compre

Cognitive Sociolinguistics combines the interest in meaning of Cognitive Linguistics with the interest in social variation of sociolinguistics, converging on two domains of enquiry: variation of meaning, and the meaning of variation. These Ten Lectures, a transcribed version of talks given by professor Geeraerts in 2009 at Beihang University in Beijing, introduce and illustrate both dimensions. The 'variation of meaning' perspective involves looking at types of semantic and categorial variation, at the role of social and cultural factors in semantic variation and change, and at the interplay of stereotypes, prototypes and norms. The 'meaning of variation' perspective involves looking at the way in which categorization processes of the type studied by Cognitive Linguistics shape how scholars and laymen think about language variation.

In Ten Lectures on Construction Grammar and Typology, William Croft presents a unified theory of linguistic form and meaning that encompasses crosslinguistic diversity, verbalization and language change. Croft begins from construction grammar, a theory of syntax in which all syntactic structures are a pairing of form and meaning. Constructions are posited as basic; syntactic categories are defined by constructions. The internal structure of constructions directly link elements of constructions to the meanings they express, Constructions across languages can be situated in a space of syntactic variation. Grammar emerges from the verbalization of experience. Constructions occur in a probability distribution across the conceptual space of meanings. These probability distributions evolve, leading to grammatical change in language, modeled in an evolutionary framework.

La investigación reciente sobre la relación entre el lenguaje y las capacidades cognitivas del ser humano muestra que el lenguaje desborda su función comunicativa y desempeña un potente papel de refuerzo de las capacidades de procesamiento y computacion de la mente humana. En esta corriente de investigacion intervienen sobre todo neurologos, psicologos cognitivos, antropologos, filosofos del lenguaje, etc., pero la aportacion de los gramaticos y linguistas ha venido siendo relativamente escasa, al menos en los ultimos años.Este libro pretende contribuir a llenar este vacio y aporta datos y conocimientos de caracter linguistico que justifican la idea de que algunos procesos del pensamiento y la cognicion humana tienen un fundamento linguistico. Con tal fin, se examina el desarrollo historico de los mecanismos gramaticales de etiquetado del entorno humano en todos sus niveles. Se presta atencion igualmente al papel que juega el lenguaje en el desarrollo de la capacidad numerica y cuantitativa de la mente humana. Un apartado del libro aporta datos sobre los mecanismos de formacion del lexico de caracter abstracto, que muestran que muchos de estos terminos y sus correlatos mentales tienen un fundamento linguistico y no solo conceptual. En fin, otro apartado examina la creacion y desarrollo historico de una nueva modalidad de lenguaje, basado en la combinatoria de los nuevos signos abstractos que surgen de la colaboracion entre lenguaje y cognicion.El libro tiene un caracter especializado, pero su redaccion y diseño pretenden hacerlo accesible a especialistas de otros saberes, interesados en el problema de la relacion entre lenguaje y cognicion.
