	Book review of Ronald Langacker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Langacker is a founder of the field of cognitive linguistics.
		Langacker makes three fundamental assumptions: that language is symbolic in nature, that a linguistic community creates linguistic conventions, and that grammar is a speaker's knowledge of linguistic conventions.
		Langacker takes issue with the prevalent view that language is a set of an infinite set of well-formed sentences or any other algorithm-generated set.

	SILEBR 2004/004 — Review of “Usage-based models of language” (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Langacker is the first person to introduce the term "usage-based." I find cognitive grammar an appealing theory because a rather economical set of linguistic notions with direct claims to psychological reality describes a very wide range of data from phonemics to discourse.
		The linguistic skills that a person possesses at any given moment in time…result from her accumulated experience with language across the totality of usage events in her life…this theoretical freedom to identify these units on the basis of actual language use, rather than adult-based linguistic theory, is truly liberating.

		The connectionist challenge to the classic genera- tive conception of rules should therefore be welcomed by all concerned, whether because it ultimately shows that explicit rules are superfluous, or because it stimulates generative theorists to refine their notion of rules and the basis for postulating them.
		For instance, an expression's grammatical category is determined by the nature of its profile (Langacker 1987a, 1987b).

	Teaching a Computer to Read
		The first of these problems was solved by Ronald Langacker, a professor at University of California at San Diego.
		In the late '70s, Langacker, a linguist who had grown frustrated with formalism, began work on the first real systematic approach to language from a functional, or cognitive, perspective -- an approach that had come to be known as cognitive linguistics.
		"Langacker is not a mathematician," says Heinze, "and he has spoken out against the dominance of math in linguistics.

		Langacker, a former Chomskian, finally became so fed up with all the “exceptions” that had to be made in generative grammar the more he explored the subtleties of language, that he finally concluded Chomsky’s theories must simply be wrong.
		Langacker eventual encapsulated all his ideas in the monumental two-volume work Foundations of Cognitive Grammar, published in 1987 and 1991.
		This idea is generally encapsulated in a phrase coined by Ronald Langacker and often repeated by cognitive linguists: grammar is conceptualization.

	FrameNet: Frame Semantics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		It begins with the uncontroversial assumption that in order to understand the meanings of the words in a language we must first have knowledge of the conceptual structures, or semantic frames, which provide the background and motivation for their existence in the language and for their use in discourse.
		The relation between a frame and a word that appeals to it is very similar to what we find in Ronald Langacker's distinction between base and profile.
		Langacker's parade example of the distinction involves the word hypotenuse.

	About Cognitive Linguistics
		Cognitive Linguistics grew out of the work of a number of researchers active in the 1970s who were interested in the relation of language and mind, and who did not follow the prevailing tendency to explain linguistic patterns by means of appeals to structural properties internal to and specific to language.
		Langacker's ideas had evolved into an explicit theory known first as Space Grammar and then Cognitive Grammar (Langacker 1988).
		The work of Lakoff, Langacker, and Talmy formed the leading strands of the theory, but connections with related theories such as Construction Grammar were made by many working cognitive linguists, who tended to adopt representational eclecticism while maintaining basic tenets of cognitivism.

	The FrameNet Project -- The Frame Semantic Basis
		We assume that an account of the meaning and function of a lexical item can proceed from the underlying semantic frame to a characterization of the manner in which the item in question, through the linguistic structures that are built up around it, selects and highlights aspects or instances of that frame.
		Langacker's parade example of the distinction uses the word hypotenuse.
		A description of the relevant features of a right triangle is a description of the frame against which the word hypotenuse is to be defined.

	Cognitive Phonology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Cognitive Linguistics (Langacker 1987) puts aside the computer analogy, focusing directly on the key human skills of categorisation, abstraction and representation â“ and Cognitive Phonology considers phonology from this point of view.
		Cognitive Linguistics (Langacker 1987, Langacker 1999, Taylor 2002, Taylor 1989) developed in explicit opposition to Chomskyan linguistics.
		Interestingly, however, there are striking similarities in the terms used to describe the two theories: both claim to be 'cognitive' and both see symbols as the basis of language.

	Asian EFL Journal: English Language Teaching and Research Articles
		Researchers, such as anthropologist Michael Agar and cognitive linguists, such as George Lakoff and Ronald Langacker, have reunited language and culture in very interesting ways that have far-reaching consequences for what it means to learn and teach languages (see Lantolf, in press).
		For example, linguistic form as it has been understood within theories of language such as proposed by Chomsky is moved off center stage in favor of meaning, in particular the kind of meaning that people create in the activity of communicating as they manipulate language to fulfill their goals.
		The central proposal of these theories is that “the essence of language is its symbolic dimension, with grammar being derivative” (Tomasello, 2003, 5) and therefore structure is not a precondition for language use but instead emerges from use.

		Again, the central role played by the notions of Landmark and Trajectory in Langacker'Cognitive Grammar lead Langacker's theory very close to gestalt psychology and to the struttural approach to language such that of Tesnire [1959].
		All those aspects make of Langacker's CG a masterpiece to be remembered in the History of Linguistics.
