Description: Mental Spaces: Aspects of Meaning Construction in Natural Language by Gilles Fauconnier Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book is a major advance in the study of reference, descriptions, and coreference-topics that have long been at the center of research in linguistics and the philosophy of language. Publisher Description First published in 1985 (MIT Press), Fauconnier's influential book, Mental Spaces, was instrumental in shaping the new field of cognitive linguistics. The concept of mental spaces—that we develop constructs during discourse that are distinct from linguistic constructs but are established by linguistic expressions—provides a powerful new approach to problems in philosophy and cognitive science concerning thought and language. It includes a new preface that provides context for the theory, and a new foreword by George Lakoff and Eve Sweetser (both of U.C. Berkeley). Author Biography Gilles Fauconnier is professor in the Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California, San Diego. Eve Sweetser is associate professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley.
