Description
Summary:<p>Over thirty years ago, the first volume of Ronald Langacker’s <em>Foundations of cognitive grammar</em> presented the linguistic community with a highly innovative and equally controversial framework for linguistic analysis. It took some time, however, for Cognitive Grammar to be perceived as a construction grammar model – maybe because “the word ‘construction’ rarely appears there” (Croft and Cruse 2004: 278), maybe because the semantic apparatus and heavy use of diagrams seemed so overwhelming at first that the construction grammar side of the framework faded into the background.</p><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Há mais de trinta anos, o primeiro volume de <em>Foundations of cognitive grammar</em> de Ronald Langacker apresentou à comunidade linguística uma estrutura altamente inovadora e igualmente controversa para a análise linguística. Demorou algum tempo, no entanto, para a Gramática Cognitiva ser vista como um modelo gramatical da construção - talvez porque “a palavra 'construção' raramente aparece lá” (Croft e Cruse 2004: 278), talvez porque o aparato semântico e o uso pesado de diagramas parecia tão avassalador a princípio que o lado da gramática da construção da estrutura desapareceu no fundo.</p><p>---</p><p>Origianl em inglês.</p>
