Langacker, a founding father of Cognitive Linguistics. The target of the booklet is to advertise different types of discussion. First, discussion among Cognitive Grammar and the actual sign-based method of language often called the Columbia university. whereas they percentage definite simple assumptions, the “maximalist” CG and the “minimalist” CS fluctuate either theoretically and methodologically. on condition that philosophers from Mill to Kuhn to Feyerabend have under pressure the significance to any self-discipline of debate among opposing perspectives, the discussion all started the following can't fail to endure fruit. the second one form of discussion is that between numerous sign-based methods themselves and likewise among them and rivals: grammaticalization idea and widespread functionalism. themes variety from phonology to discourse. Analytical difficulties are taken from a variety of languages together with English, German, Guarani, Hebrew, Hualapai, jap, Korean, Macedonian, Mandarin, Polish, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Urdu, and Yaqui.

G. (21): (21) The lottery, I never have any luck. To keep things simple, I have taken an example where the comment clause makes no overt reference to the topic. The basic organization of such an expression is sketched in Figure 13. The two component structures respectively profile a thing (X) and a proposition (Y V). The topic relationship emerges only at the composite structure level, being signalled by the adjacency and temporal ordering of these two elements. My assumption is that the overall expression inherits its profile from the comment clause.
This general cognitive ability has both perceptual and more abstract manifestations. It provides the coherence of sequences like the following: (3) a. Do you see that large boulder about half-way up the mountain? There’s a climber just above it. b. Do you remember the lawyer who got disbarred? His daughter is in my ethics class. In each case the first sentence evokes a reference point (the boulder or the lawyer), which the second sentence uses as a basis for directing attention to the intended target (the climber or the daughter).
Body-part relationships between NP1 and NP2 are the most frequent, evidently the prototype for this kind of construction, which can however be extended to many other sorts of situations. It is common for NP1 to be an experiencer with respect to the inner clause. Finally, there is a strong tendency for these sentences to be stative. Often they translate naturally with have even though they contain no such verb. 2. Analysis Though problematic from certain theoretical perspectives, this type of construction is quite straightforwardly described in CG.
