Ten Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics
Cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis
Series: - Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics, Volume: 31
Author:
In this book, Christopher Hart provides a comprehensive description of an applied form of Cognitive Linguistics in Cognitive Critical Discourse Analysis (Cognitive CDA). Cognitive CDA applies frameworks in cognitive linguistics in analyses of political texts and talk to highlight the ideological qualities and legitimating functions of conceptualisations associated with dominant discourse practices. Across the ten lectures, various frameworks in cognitive linguistics are applied, including cognitive grammar, conceptual semantics, conceptual metaphor theory and discourse space theory. Texts and talk from a variety of contexts and genres are analysed. In the final two lectures, Cognitive CDA is extended to multimodal data in the form of images and gestures.
Christopher Hart is Professor of Linguistics at Lancaster University. He is author of Critical Discourse Analysis and Cognitive Science: New Perspectives on Immigration Discourse (Palgrave 2010) and Discourse, Grammar and Ideology: Functional and Cognitive Perspectives (Bloomsbury 2014).
The book will be of interest to students and researchers in cognitive linguistic, critical discourse analysis, media studies and political science.
