     ‘This Glossary is impressively exhaustive in its coverage. It
     will be an indispensable aid to students in linguistics and
     other disciplines who need to understand a theory which
     is now coming of age, and advanced researchers will also
     find it a useful companion both for reference and for
     helping to access original texts.’
     Professor Chris Sinha, University of Portsmouth
     ‘Cognitive Linguistics is now developing rapidly, and, like
     all new fields, this one has developed its own technical
     meta-language. Anyone needing a jargon-free guide
     through this fascinating new terrain will find exactly what
     is needed in Vyv Evans’ joined-up explanations of the
     landmark concepts and theories. The Glossary is far more
     than an alphabetical list – it gives unity and coherence to
     the Cognitive Linguistics project.’
     Professor Paul Chilton, University of Lancaster
