Critical Cognitive Linguistics, by Zhang Hui & Zhang Tianwei

Abstract

Critical Cognitive Linguistics (CCL) is a multidisciplinary research field that has emerged in the past decade. It focuses on the correlation between discourse, society and cognition, and has generated considerable research outcomes. The book Critical Cognitive Linguistics, written by Hui Zhang and Tianwei Zhang, systematically introduces the mainstream theories, methodologies and approaches in CCL, as well as its applications in various fields. This work consists of two parts. The first part consists of Chapters 1-6, of which Chapter 1 serves as an introduction and Chapters 2-6 unfold theoretical underpinnings. The second part consists of Chapters 7-15, of which Chapters 7-14 present empirical studies, and Chapter 15 focuses on the challenges faced by CCL and suggestions for future research.
