About Cogling.org.uk
The central objectives of CLUK is to develop and promote the multi-disciplinary field of Cognitive Linguistics within the UK, as well as contribute to the research- and event-based synergy currently growing across Europe, and to foster initiatives and exchanges at the wider international level. Within the last 25 years or so, Cognitive Linguistics has emerged as a radical and exciting new approach to the study of language and the mind within the interdisciplinary project known as Cognitive Science. In that time a rich and relatively mature set of theories has developed which have by now been applied to a wide range of linguistic and cognitive phenomena. As Cognitive Linguistics has grown and matured, debates have emerged regarding foundational theoretical positions and data collection practices and methodologies. Moreover, in recent years, both the empirical basis and the interdisciplinary character of Cognitive Linguistics have been significantly strengthened.
