本书内容简介

Speaker: Arie Verhagen

Language: English

Overview:

In these lectures, Arie Verhagen presents a version of cognitive linguistics that adheres to both the generalization and cognitive commitments that characterized the field from the start, and a biological commitment: understanding language as adaptive behavior of (human) organisms in the niche(s) that they inhabit. Drawing on the model of biological explanation (“Tinbergen’s four why’s”), Verhagen shows how proximate (individual level) and ultimate (population level) explanations apply to several features of language, shedding new light on basic notions like conventionality and entrenchment, norms/rules and habits, etc., and their causal connections. Topics include the relation between language, culture, and thinking, the role of language in social cognition and narrative, the evolution of sound structure and grammar, semantic change, and more.

本书主讲人简介

Arie Verhagen (PhD 1986) is professor of Language, Culture, and Cognition at Leiden University (The Netherlands), and Academic Director of the Honors Program of the Faculty of Arts in Leiden. He previously held positions at the Free University in Amsterdam and the University of Utrecht. From 1996 till 2004, he served as editor-in-chief of the journalCognitive Linguistics. His grammatical work includes studies on word order, passive, causative, connectives,wh-questions, complementation, and other construction types. With his 2005 monograph Constructions of Intersubjectivity. Discourse, Syntax, and Cognition (Oxford University Press), he contributed to the so-called ‘social turn’ in cognitive linguistics. He has been a (co)supervisor in a number of externally funded interdisciplinary projects, on topics such as comparing cultural evolution in human language and bird song, computational modeling of language acquisition and language change, stylistics and rhetoric in literature and non-fiction, and dialogues in past and present communication. His research is framed in a (radically) usage-based approach (see Geeraerts 2016 for a recent overview), and focuses especially on the connection between grammar, discourse, and the highly developed human ability to understand other minds, as a basis for cooperation; a recent result is the volume Viewpoint and the Fabric of Meaning (De Gruyter, 2016, co-edited with Barbara Dancygier and Wei-lun Lu).
