The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics Part 127. 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. | 1230 RENE DIRVEN FRANK POLZENHAGEN AND HANS-GEORG WOLF This is in fact the proper field of stylistics. It comes as no surprise then that CDA and its underlying framework of functionalism have mainly researched this variation-bound ideology. Prominent objects of analysis are grammatical means that lend themselves to hiding agency in particular passivization and nominalization see . Simpson 1993 chapter 4 and that may thus encode specific ideological perspectives. From a cognitive linguistic point of view we can go much further and claim that ideology may enter at any level of grammatical conceptualization even the most abstract ones. We already saw an example in Botha s discussion of ideological deixis at the beginning of section 3. The present section focuses on two additional instances one from the area of tense Grundy and Jiang 2001 and one from the area of declension Nesset 2001 . Grundy and Jiang s 2001 analysis exemplifies the link between grammatical constructions and underlying ideological models against a sociocultural background thus establishing the bond with the notion of Cultural Models see Dirven Wolf and Polzenhagen this volume chapter 46 and Nesset s 2001 study makes a cognitive linguistic contribution to a feminist critique of sexism in language. Grundy and Jiang 2001 analyze some specific features in Hong Kong English in particular the nonconventional use of the bare past. Against the background of mental space theory Fauconnier 1997 Grundy and Jiang discuss the representation of anomalous sentences which are found especially in public address messages in Hong Kong such as 3 with a past perfect instead of the expected present perfect form 3 Last bus had departed. In the present perfect form The last bus has departed the present of the reader would be set as the reference time from which the event the departure of the bus is viewed. The past perfect form in 3 by contrast prompts the reader to locate the event relative to a past viewpoint space. .
