GOOD BOOKS,
By
This review is from: Cognitive Linguistics (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics) (Paperback)
One of the most complete introduction to Cognitive Linguistics. It can be easily used a "textbook" for an introductory course on Cognitive Linguistics since it covers from basic notions (frames, domains, schemas, etc) to more complex agendas such as Construction Grammar. It is worth purchasing it!
