Fauconnier: Meaning, Language, Cognition. Gilles Fauconnier Introduction to Methods and Generalizations To appear. Methods and Generalizations. In T. Janssen and G. Redeker (Eds). Scope and Foundations of Cognitive Linguistics. The Hague: Mouton De Gruyter. Cognitive Linguistics Research Series. Linguists agree on one thing - that language is diabolically hard to study. How linguists do it: they collect grammaticality judgments from natives and concurrently build and check hypotheses about the formal structure of particular languages and languages in general.
What is language for? This strange and simple story contains its own methods and generalizations. In contrast to this sharply autonomous view of language structure, cognitive linguistics has resurrected an older tradition. The cognitive linguistics enterprise, we believe, has already been remarkably successful. Well, where does all this come from? Mais pas du tout. This shift bears on the methods employed and the generalizations obtained.
