Empirical and Experimental Methods in Cognitive/Functional Research
Sally Rice and John Newman
This book consists of selected papers from the seventh meeting of the
Conceptual Structure, Discourse, and Language Conference, held at
the
University of Alberta in October 2004. The papers fall into five
main
categories, reflecting the cognitive and functional orientation of
the
conference: reciprocity between lexis and syntax, semantic factors
affecting form patterning, grammaticalization of basic verbs, form/
meaning pairings in discourse, and experimental investigations of
language/mind and language/use interactions. In addition, a plenary
paper by Nick Evans on complex events, propositional overlay, and
the
special status of reciprocal clauses is included.
Contributors to this volume include Benjamin K. Bergen, Liesbeth
Degand, David Eddington, Nicholas Evans, Michael Gasser, Stefan Th.
Gries, Beate Hampe, Maya Hickmann, Martin Hilpert, Stephen Hockema,
Kaoru Horie, Mike Huiskes, Kaori Kabata, Demetra Katis, Jordan
Lachler, Ronald W. Langacker, Jeong-Hwa Lee, Yoshihiro Matsunaka,
Yuko
Mizuno, Tsuyoshi Ono, Prashant Pardeshi, Fey Parrill, Nunghatai
Rangponsumrit, Ted Sanders, Shigeru Sato, Phyllis Schneider, Doris
Schönefeld, Stathis Selimis, Nitya Sethuraman, Kazuko Shinohara,
Wilbert Spooren, Anatol Stefanowitsch, and Kathryn B. Wheeler.
