battery of conceptual tools potentially useful for translation and literary studies (Tabakowska 1993). For various reasons, Cognitive Grammar does not readily lend itself to computer implementation. 48 Still, much can be learned from even partial attempts and consideration of why the problem is so difficult (Holmqvist 1993, 1999). Cognitive Grammar does lend itself to investigating language in its social and historical context, for it avoids the artificial disjunctures of synchrony versus di- achrony and language structure versus language use (section 2). There have so far been few sociolinguistic studies specifically exploiting descriptive constructs of Cognitive Grammar (Kemmer and Israel 1994; Backus 1996; see Langacker 2003b). By contrast, diachronic issues figured prominently in the first publication on Cog- nitive Grammar (Langacker 1981) and have continued to receive attention (Lan- gacker 1990b, 1992a, 1998, 1999c; Carey 1994, 1996; Rubba 1994; Israel 1996b; Doiz Bienzobas 1998—see also Bybee, this volume, chapter 36). Grammaticalization has been a special focus and is likely to remain so in view of its central importance to semantics and grammar (this volume, chapters 10, 36). With respect to theory and description, several major themes should be pivotal to Cognitive Grammar research in the coming years. The first is dynamicity, pertaining to how a conceptualization unfolds through processing time (section 3). The lin- guistic effects of temporal sequencing are both pervasive and fundamental (Lan- gacker 1993c, 1997b, 2001a, 2001b, 2001d, 2003c). They obtain in every dimension and at every level of organization—from discourse to sublexical semantic structure. 49 If a linguistic model is to be psychologically realistic, the inherent temporality of cog- nitive processing would seem to demand a dynamic account of language structure, which in any case is strongly motivated on purely linguistic grounds. The second theme is fictivity. Even when discussing actual individuals and occurrences, surpris- ingly much of what we directly refer to linguistically is ‘‘fictive’’ or ‘‘virtual’’ in nature. Fictive motion (Langacker 1986; Matsumoto 1996;Talmy1996) is merely the tip of a virtual iceberg (Langacker 1999c, 2003d). 50 Achieving a clear understanding of the myriad kinds and levels of virtuality is crucial for advancing conceptual semantics. A final theme will be the grounding of language structure in discourse and social interaction (Langacker 2001a, 2001e, 2003b, 2004c, 2004d). While this grounding has from the outset been inherent in Cognitive Grammar’s basic architecture (section 2), it has not been sufficiently emphasized in either description or theoretical formu- lation. In principle, Cognitive Grammar is a theory of e ´ nonciation (Culioli 1990). Its future development should make this increasingly more apparent in practice. NOTES 1. These points are detailed in Langacker (2005a, 2005b). Comparison of Cognitive Grammar with two other approaches, Tesnie ` re’s Structural Syntax and the Columbia School, can be found in Langacker (1995d, 2004b). For extensive treatment of Cognitive Grammar itself, see Langacker (1987a, 1990a, 1991, 1999b) and Taylor (2002). 450 ronald w. langacker 2. See the following references (all to Langacker): for noun and verb, 1987b; for subject, 1999a, 2001b; for morpheme, 1987a, 1995a; for constituency, 1995a, 1997a; for subordinate clause, 1991. 3. To the extent they are analogous, the term viewing is employed for both perception and conception in general (Langacker 1993d, 1995e; cf. Talmy 1996). 4. Also within the scope of potential linguistic concern are facial expression and even body language. Writing and gesture can be taken as alternative central channels of ex- pression. 5. This is essentially what is shown in figure 17.1, which can be taken as a skeletal representation that all units share and that each elaborates in its own way. 6. Excluded are channels in which no specification is made (i.e., they are fully schematic), as well as those noncentral enough to be ignored for particular purposes. 7. The semantic pole of a symbolic unit is ipso facto a semantic unit. There can also be semantic units that are not individually symbolized (e.g., a concept that defines a category schematically but happens to represent a ‘‘lexical gap’’), just as there are phonological units that do not individually serve a symbolizing function. 8. Lexical items can be partially schematic phonologically if they only occur in larger expressions where their schematic elements are specified and overtly manifested (e.g., a reduplicative morpheme of the schematic form CV-, where the schematic consonant and vowel match those of the stem). For other subtleties concerning the notion ‘‘expression,’’ see Langacker (1987a: section 11.2.1). 9. Cognitive Grammar agrees with Construction Grammar in treating lexical items as constructions. However, it does not follow Construction Grammar in positing construc- tions only when there is some discernible irregularity or nonpredictability. Expressions that are semantically and grammatically regular can nonetheless be established as con- ventional linguistic units. Since mastery of these usual ways of saying things is essential to speaking a language fluently, it seems both arbitrary and artifactual to exclude them from linguistic knowledge just because they happen to be regular. 10. The term ‘‘apprehension’’ merely indicates mental occurrence. It is intended as being neutral between speaking and understanding. 11. For the speaker, this might be some aspect of the conception to be conveyed. For the listener, it might be an auditory impression and/or some aspect of the conception anticipated as representing the speaker’s intent. 12. See, for example, Kempson (1977: section 2.3) and Palmer (1981: section 2.2). The word concept and its derivatives do not even appear in the index of Lyons (1995). 13. A common mistake is to think of conceptualization as being like an image pro- jected on a screen inside the skull for viewing. It should instead be identified with the mental experience engendered by viewing the world ‘‘outside.’’ Only as a special case, and to a very limited extent, can we monitor our own conceptualizing activity. 14. These egregious misinterpretations of the Cognitive Grammar view are found in Levinson (1997). The actual Cognitive Grammar position is quite close to the one Levinson espouses. 15. See Haiman (1980), Langacker (1987a: section 4.2), and Wierzbicka (1995). Refer- ence to dictionaries and encyclopedias is metaphorical—pace Wierzbicka, it is not claimed, for instance, that an encyclopedic semantic characterization contains the kinds of esoteric information found in actual encyclopedias which most speakers are ignorant of. 16. In terms of encyclopedic semantics, these senses consist of different ways of ac- cessing the same domains of knowledge, or overlapping sets of domains. Polysemy illus- trates the general phenomenon of complex categories, whose formation was described cognitive grammar 451 at the end of section 2. Lakoff’s (1987) radial model of categorization is a special case of this network model (one that ignores the abstraction of more schematic meanings). 17. For instance, something is ‘‘basic’’ if it is either innately specified or first acquired. In one sense a whole is more ‘‘basic’’ than its parts, but also ‘‘basic,’’ in another way, are the smallest parts out of which a whole is progressively assembled. 18. Actually, any established ‘‘concept’’ can equally well be described dynamically as the routinized ability to execute a certain ‘‘packet’’ of processing activity. 19. The examples cited by Lakoff (1987) and Johnson (1987) of ‘‘image schemas’’ include both sorts of basic notions, and their discussion fails to clearly distinguish them. While image schemas are supposedly abstracted from bodily experience, Cognitive Grammar is essentially agnostic on the innateness issue. However, a reasonable working hypothesis is that the basic cognitive abilities, at least, are innately provided. They make possible the structured experience required for the emergence of archetypes. 20. Other possibilities are basic domains pertaining to emotive and motor/kinesthetic experience. The irreducibility of basic domains does not preclude their being structured (e.g., color space has the dimensions of brightness, hue, and saturation) or being sus- ceptible to metaphorical construal (e.g., loud color). While analysis and metaphor enhance our understanding of these domains, they do not themselves constitute the basic experi- ence (e.g., the sensation of redness). 21. The earlier term abstract domain is infelicitous, since many conceptions pertain to concrete experience. 22. The term construal is preferable to imagery, used in earlier works, since the latter is commonly employed for other phenomena (e.g., visual imagery). Content and construal cannot be sharply distinguished; the terminological distinction is made primarily to highlight the importance of construal, which is largely ignored in traditional semantics. The classification of construal phenomena is likewise mostly for expository convenience. 23. Here, for instance, are some usual prominence asymmetries: whole > part; human > nonhuman; concrete > abstract; new > given; category prototype > noncentral members; basic-level category > subordinate/superordinate categories. 24. Because a relationship cannot be conceptualized without conceptualizing its central participants (given as circles), these are included in the relational profile. 25. In terms of figure 17.1, the immediate scope is the content appearing in the viewing frame. 26. These are unproblematic in Cognitive Grammar. For instance, metonymy consists of an alternate choice of profile within the same conceptual base. Mental space configu- rations and the mappings between spaces characteristic of metaphor and blending represent special cases of how the domains of a matrix can be related to one another. 27. A morpheme is a degenerate symbolic assembly consisting of just a single symbolic structure; that is, it is not analyzable into symbolic components. However, since the analyzability of fixed expressions is a matter of degree, morphemic status is graded as well (Langacker 1987a: section 12.1; 1995a). 28. As later discussion will show, distributional classes of this sort are readily ac- commodated in a usage-based model (Langacker 2000), as are the distributional properties of semantically definable categories. 29. For example, the schematic definition of a noun (an expression that profiles a thing) defines a category that includes not only the elements traditionally recognized as such, but also pronouns, articles, demonstratives, and full noun phrases. For extensive discussion of grammatical classes, see Langacker (1987a, 1987b, 1991). 452 ronald w. langacker 30. The oft-debated issue of whether every language has a noun/verb distinction pertains to primary lexical categorization, which is just a matter of whether particular profiling options are entrenched and conventionalized. If a lexeme has no inherent pro- filing, the construction it appears in will nonetheless impose one, so that it functions as a noun or a verb in any given use. In claiming that nouns and verbs are universal gram- matical categories, Cognitive Grammar remains agnostic as to whether they are also universal lexical categories. 31. The constitutive entities can be taken as arbitrary ‘‘splotches’’ of substance. As used in Cognitive Grammar, the term entity is maximally schematic, implying no specific properties or individual cognitive salience. 32. The entities interconnected in a relationship need not be discrete, distinct, cog- nitively salient, or individually mentioned. Thus, expressions that profile relationships need not have multiple (or even any) overtly specified participants. 33. A better term might be nonprocessual, since time is often a factor. For example, before and after (figure 17.7) are atemporal (nonprocessual) because the profiled rela- tionship is construed as a single configuration in time (analogous to one in space), rather than being viewed as evolving through time. By contrast, the verbs precede and follow either follow this relationship through time as a stable configuration (as in June precedes July)or portray it as emerging through time (Lightning preceded the storm). 34. As abbreviations used for expository convenience, capital letters stand for semantic structures, with lower case orthography representing phonological structures. Ellipses indicate that the class schemas impose no specific phonological requirements (i.e., they are maximally schematic at the phonological pole). Although they are shown separately for analytic purposes, the schemas are actually immanent in their instantiations, that is, in- herent in the processing activity constituting them. 35. To keep things simple, articles are omitted and only the semantic pole is shown in any detail. The pictures of a table and a door are merely mnemonic abbreviations for the full, encyclopedic meanings of table and door. An extensive treatment of grammatical constructions is offered in Langacker (2003a). 36. More fundamental are conceptual grouping, phonological grouping, symboliza- tion, and the hierarchical organization characteristic of human behavior in general (see Langacker 1995a, 1997a). 37. A more restrictive definition reflecting traditional usage would limit the term ‘‘subject’’ to situations where the relationship is profiled and only at the clausal level (e.g., The table is near the door). 38. The schema can also be seen as one facet of the lexical item’s characteriza- tion. Since a lexical item occurs in particular grammatical environments, the repre- sentation abstracted from usage events includes a set of structural frames in which it figures. If there is any representation independent of such frames, it arises by further abstraction. 39. Phonologically, for example, the word picnics divides into pic and nics on unipolar grounds (syllable structure), whereas bipolar considerations dictate the otherwise unmo- tivated segmentation into picnic and -s. Semantically, the meaning of -s is quite schematic and unlikely to emerge as a conceptual unit were it not for its linguistic role in forming plurals, incorporating the more specific content of the nouns it combines with. 40. Phonological representations are not just based on articulation, but also on per- ception, which constitutes another channel. In signed languages, the main expressive burden is shifted to the corresponding gestural channels. cognitive grammar 453 41. As a facet of unipolar phonological organization, accentual prominence lacks the referential function of profiling. This follows from the inherent difference between con- ceptualization and expression. 42. As reflected in the history of writing, segments are psychologically less basic than syllables and words and do not occur alone except when they happen to coincide with these larger structures. Representations of segments are thus abstracted from larger structural frames, which (in schematized form) are part of their characterization. This is quite analogous to the incorporation of symbolic structural frames in the characterization of lexical items (see note 38). 43. These are analogous to patterns of semantic extension, such as the metonymic pattern [creator " creation] (as in She just bought a Miro ´ ). For some differences between derivation and categorization, see Langacker (1987a: 444). 44. For instance, a clausal subordinator might be placed in the middle of the clause as a suffix on the verb. 45. I restrict attention to research largely based on Cognitive Grammar proper (without implying any sharp distinction from work in cognitive and functional linguistics more generally). Here and in what follows, only selected citations can be given. 46. Starting with Lindner (1981, 1982), considerable attention has been devoted to polysemy and semantic networks. What I have in mind here is rather the absence of large- scale attempts at describing the conceptual semantic structure of individual meanings or senses in a systematic fashion (i.e., some analogue of Wierzbicka’s 1996 lexicographic program). 47. Scho ¨ nefeld (1999 ) offers a positive assessment of its success in this regard. 48. Among these reasons are construal, encyclopedic semantics, and the indissociability of meaning and grammar. 49. Processing at different levels occurs on different time scales. Sequentiality is quite apparent at the discourse level, owing to the large time scale involved. In the case of sublexical meanings, where the small time scale forecloses introspective observation, the evidence is substantial but indirect (Langacker 1998). 50. For instance, the cat referred to in She doesn’t have a cat is not any actual cat but a virtual creature ‘‘conjured up’’ to characterize the situation whose existence is being de- nied. Each protester lit a candle does not refer directly to any actual protestor, any actual candle, or any actual event of lighting. Instead, it designates a fictive event involving fictive participants, with each specifying how the type of event thus characterized maps onto actuality. REFERENCES Achard, Michel. 1996.
