What is "cognitive linguistics"?
Cognitive linguistics is the study of how language is connected to human thought and cognition. It explores how people understand and use language based on their mental processes, focusing on how concepts, perceptions, and experiences shape language structure and use. This field examines the relationship between language and various cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, and categorization. Cognitive linguistics helps to reveal how language reflects the ways people think and perceive the world, emphasizing that language is not just a tool for communication but also a window into human thought.
