An Introduction to Cognitive Linguistics by Friedrich Ungerer

Part of "Learning About Language" series, this edition provides an overview of Cognitive Linguistics. It explains the concepts of categorization, of prototype and gestalt perception, of basic level and conceptual hierarchies, of figure and ground, and of metaphor and metonymy. It also brings together issues such as iconicity and lexical change.

Friedrich Ungerer is Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Rostock, Germany, but also has a background in applied linguistics and language teaching.

Hans-Jörg Schmid is Professor of Modern English Linguistics at the University of Munich, where he is currently initiating the foundation of an Interdisciplinary Centre for Cognitive Language Studies.

Both authors have published extensively in the field.
