Cognitive Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field that explores the relationship between language and the mind. It examines how our cognitive processes influence the way we understand and produce language. This approach emphasizes that language is not just a set of rules but is deeply connected to our experiences, perceptions, and conceptualizations of the world.
Researchers in Cognitive Linguistics study various aspects, such as metaphors, schemas, and frames, to understand how people use language to convey meaning. By analyzing how language reflects thought, this field contributes to our understanding of human cognition and communication, bridging insights from linguistics, psychology, and philosophy.
