| Course Overview |
*Cognitive Linguistics and Construction Grammar* Course overview The course will be divided between a) an introduction to the approach of cognitive linguistics and b) an introduction to construction grammar. In the first half of the course, we will present some of the most important and fundamental facets of cognitive linguistics, including conceptualization processes such as metaphor, metonymy, and frames. The second half of the course will focus on construction grammar, as we read about constructions from several perspectives. Course goals 1) To learn about the foundations of cognitive linguistics; 2) To practice linguistic analysis using a cognitive linguistic approach; 3) To study and improve linguistic argumentation; 4) To understand the theoretical basis for construction grammar 5) To understand the major points in Goldberg 2019 and to study the style of argumentation used; 6) To improve skills in analysis and critical reasoning. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Message for students The first half of this course is about some of the most fascinating topics from Cognitive Linguistics. The second half is about understanding a relatively new and exciting theory of grammar, and studying how to argue to support your points. I am excited to work with you; let's all enjoy this class! Suggestion for success (Specific) : Suggestions for Success (specific) If you want to succeed, you need to *care about* our class. Here are some specific suggestions: Don't miss class. Keep up with the homework. Keep up with the syllabus. More suggestions: Keep your mind open. Engage with the material. Express yourself, the best you can. Don't be scared about whether your grammar or pronunciation is “good enough”. Just keep expressing yourself in English. It’s very lucky to be a student! (And I am lucky to be your teacher!) Let's make the most of our chance. Don't allow yourself to miss valuable opportunities because of shyness or laziness. Relax and enjoy yourself. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it, so work hard but happily! Even more suggestions: After a good night’s sleep, on the morning of our class, meditate, exercise, and eat a healthy breakfast with protein (and a healthy lunch as well for afternoon classes). Then, be in class on time and ready to participate. If you are sleepy, drink some coffee or tea so you have the mental energy to fully participate in class.
