The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics Part 32. In the past decade, Cognitive Linguistics has developed into one of the most dynamic and attractive frameworks within theoretical and descriptive linguistics The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics is a major new reference that presents a comprehensive overview of the main theoretical concepts and descriptive/theoretical models of Cognitive Linguistics, and covers its various subfields, theoretical as well as applied. | 280 LEONARD TALMy This idea is advanced in Fillmore s 1976 1982 frame semantics. This proposes that every morpheme is associated with a network of concepts any of which can be invoked by a question or additional comment outside the morpheme. Thus the English verb write has an associated conceptual frame. Reference to a writing implement as in 19a directs greater attention to a particular aspect of that frame namely to the physical realization of the writing process. Reference to a language as in 19b foregrounds another aspect of writing namely the fact that it is always a linguistic phenomenon. And reference to a topic as in 19c foregrounds attention on a third aspect of writing namely that it communicates conceptual content. 19 I wrote . a. . with a quill b. . in Russian c. . about daffodils. Comparably Bierwisch 1983 observed that different contexts can single out at least two different aspects of the referent of a word like university in a systematic way hence not as different senses of a particular polysemous morpheme. Thus attention is directed to the character of a university as a physical entity in The university collapsed in the earthquake and as an institution in He got his PhD from that university. In a similar way Langacker s 1984 notion of an active zone though it is not characterized in terms of differential attention designates the particular portion of a morpheme s extended reference that participates most directly in a relationship. This relationship is expressed by a morpheme or morphemes outside the affected one. For example in My dog bit your cat the outside morpheme bit determines that of the extended reference of the morpheme dog it is the teeth and jaws that are most directly involved and also that only some unspecified portion not the whole of the cat is involved. Factor Cb2 Context Designating One of a Morpheme s Multiple Senses as the Object of Attention A particular morphemic shape in a language can have and typically does have a number of
