1. Cognitive semantics

   Cognitive semantics is part of the cognitive linguistics movement. Semantics is the study of linguistic meaning. Cognitive semantics holds that language is part of a more general human cognitive ability, and can therefore only describe the world as people conceive of it. It is implicit that different linguistic communities conceive of simple things and processes in the world differently (different cultures), not necessarily some difference between a person's conceptual world and the real world (wrong beliefs).

1. cognitive semantics

   Cognitive semantics refers to the branch of linguistics that examines how our mind forms, processes, and comprehends the meanings of phrases, sentences, or texts. It theorizes that the understanding of linguistic expressions directly connects to human cognitive processes, including perception, categorization, and conceptualization. This interdisciplinary field draws insights from cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence to study how language is linked to human thought processes.

1. Cognitive semantics

   Cognitive semantics is part of the cognitive linguistics movement. Semantics is the study of meaning. Cognitive semantics holds that language is part of a more general human cognitive ability, can therefore only describe the world as it is organised within people's conceptual spaces. It is implicit that there is some difference between this conceptual world and the real world. The main tenets of cognitive semantics are: ⁕That grammar is a way of expressing the speaker's concept of the world; ⁕That knowledge of language is acquired and contextual; ⁕That the ability to use language draws upon general cognitive resources and not a special language module. As part of the field of cognitive linguistics, the cognitive semantics approach rejects the traditional separation of linguistics into phonology, syntax, pragmatics, etc. Instead, it divides semantics into meaning-construction and knowledge representation. Therefore, cognitive semantics studies much of the area traditionally devoted to pragmatics as well as semantics. The techniques native to cognitive semantics are typically used in lexical studies such as those put forth by Leonard Talmy, George Lakoff, Dirk Geeraerts, and Bruce Wayne Hawkins. Some cognitive semantic frameworks, such as that developed by Talmy, take into account syntactic structures as well.
