Methods in Cognitive Linguistics is an introduction to empirical methodology for language researchers. Intended as a handbook to exploring the empirical
dimension of the theoretical questions raised by Cognitive Linguistics, the volume presents guidelines for employing methods from a variety of intersecting
disciplines, laying out different ways of gathering empirical evidence.
The book is divided into 5 sections. Methods and Motivations provides the reader with the preliminary background in scientific methodology and statistics.
The sections on Corpus and Discourse Analysis, and Sign Language and Gesture describe different ways of investigating usage data. Behavioral Research
describes methods for exploring mental representation, simulation semantics, child language development, and the relationships between space and language,
and eye movements and cognition. Lastly, Neural Approaches introduces the reader to ERP research and to the computational modeling of language.
