Description: Meaning in Mind and Society : A Functional Contribution to the Social Turn in Cognitive Linguistics, Hardcover by Harder, Peter, ISBN 3110205106, ISBN-13 9783110205107, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Harder (U. of Copenhagen) offers an analysis of the social turn in cognitive linguistics, which aims to ground cognitive conceptualization in social context, and argues that the functional approach, which begins with the functions of objects and continues via the functions of linguistic expressions to functional relations between meanings and social structures, can provide the foundation needed for social cognitive linguistics, which in turn can provide a valuable alternative to the discourses approach for analyzing meaning-in-society. This social cognitive linguistics is more valid than the discourses approach, he contends, because non-agentive and conflictive aspects of meaning in society cannot be properly understood as an autonomous domain, because social cognitive linguistics provides a framework that includes the foundational role of agency and cooperation as part of the necessary context for understanding interpersonal and conflictive processes, and because combining cooperation with interpersonal causal pressures enables an ecologically valid approach to the normative aspects of discourse conflicts.
