Subjects: Handbooks, manuals, Cognitive grammar, Applied linguistics

Description: The inaugural volume of the Handbücher Sprachwissen series demonstrates the relevance of language as a symbolic system for creating knowledge and applying it in social domains and other spheres of activity (medicine, law, business, etc.). The series takes a language-systemic perspective that goes from sound to text and discourse, combining it with a usage-oriented approach focusing on linguistic phenomena as such. -- Publisher description.
