Ronald W. Langacker’s research while affiliated with University of California, San Diego and other places

... Importantly, the corporation's environmental practices are more likely to be represented as externally rather than internally motivated. Clayton and Opotow (2003) claim that ecological identities can be recognized, nurtured, and used to encourage conservations when nature is tied to the self, thus allowing the motivation to be internal rather than external, However, ecological identities can be externally motivated because our epistemic construals of reality as stimuli can trigger attitudes which in turn motivate actions (Langacker 2010). This explains how external and internal motives interlock and entwine with each other. ...

... As a matter of fact, a parallel architecture model of language contradicts not just Chomsky's syntactocentric architecture of language but also "semanticocentric" models, in which syntax is replaced by semantics as the central component of language. Considering this, I aim in this paper to rediscuss Ronald Langacker's (1987, 1991a, 1991b, 2023 cognitive grammar in order to reaffirm the greater empirical adequacy of a parallel architecture model of language in comparison to a semanticocentric model such as Langacker's, which stands out due to its pioneering and its influence in linguistics and related disciplines for the last four decades. ...

... I tillegg til at en språkvitenskapelig teori skal vaere et presist og velutvikla metaspråk, har den også noen overordna mål med den lingvistiske analysen, f.eks. å forstå den kognitive struktureringa av språk (Bybee & Beckner, 2015) eller å utvikle et generelt rammeverk som muliggjør en optimal beskrivelse av ethvert språk (Langacker, 2015). ...

... Baseada na Semântica de Frames, a FrameNet é um recurso lexicográfico que surgiu em 1997, no International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), em Berkeley, e que inicialmente aplicou a teoria da Semântica de Frames (Fillmore, 1982) para a análise das possibilidades lexicográficas de itens lexicais em inglês (Fillmore & Baker, 2009). Sua metodologia é guiada pela teoria da Semântica de Frames (Fillmore, 1982(Fillmore, , 1985, e as análises, sustentadas por evidências em corpora. ...

... Our findings for all three questions converge, insofar as we need a flexible, multilayered framework that can accommodate gradient properties at various levels of generality from abstract constructional schemas to specific schemas for individual words. We argue that Construction Morphology (Booij, 2010, Masini & Audring, 2019 adequately accommodates the patterns we identify in the present study. ...

... However, a few authors allow for utterances to be put together from alreadycomplex expressions. This possibility is mentioned by, among others, Hockett (1960), Pawley and Syder (1983), Sinclair (1991) and Langacker (1997Langacker ( , 2020 and 2 A distinct phenomenon goes under the same heading of blending, and is a potential source of confusion. This is the deliberate combining of (usually word-sized) expressions that happens 'offline ', yielding what De Smet (2013: 80) calls "conscious coinages". ...

... Bipolarity is clearly reflected within the semiotic triangle presented before. The presence of two poles of a symbol (in some theories referred to as a sign), which is constituted in the form of a reference interwoven into mental structures of the subject of knowledge on the one hand, and externally realized using a correlated material form (e.g., graphical or verbal) on the other hand, can be found, among others, in the basic work by de Saussure [28] (see the distinction between signifiant and signifié), in cognitive grammar [29,30] (see the concept of semantic unit consisting of phonological unit and symbolic unit), as internal patterns and external patterns in neurobiological interpretation of meaning [31,32], as well as in the more classic dual coding approach to mental representations proposed by Paivio [33] (see mental images and image memory versus verbal representations and verbal memory). ...

... Furthermore, if we look at the word formation from the perspective of baseline and elaboration, we can capture the relationship between elements before the formation, the way they are elaborated during the formation, and their structure after it, depending on the different types of elaboration, which allows us to better capture the nature of complex words. Langacker's own studies have shown the utility and breadth of the application of baseline elaboration theory, such as Langacker (2015b), which examines the central aspects of English clauses; Langacker (2016b), which focuses on English nominal quantifiers; Langacker (2017), which revisits the concept of evidentiality; and ...

... From this perspective, it is possible to see the impact of sociocultural situatedness on metaphors as they are constructed by their interaction with the surrounding sociocultural context (Frank et al., 2008). such duality in deconstructing metaphors does, in fact, stem from the social turn that has colored the cognitive linguistics enterprise in recent years (alduais et al., 2022;croft, 2009;Divjak et al., 2016;Langacker, 2016). that being said, it is of key significance to highlight that the above discussion on examining body metaphors in different languages linguistically, socio-politically, and cognitively does take on more importance in case of the word heart. ...
