Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics: Cognitive Linguistics Research [CLR] 45 The world we live in today is vastly different from the one our ancestors knew just a few decades ago. With the rapid pace of technological advancement, it's hard to keep up with the latest trends, let alone understand their impact on society. However, as humans, we have an innate desire to make sense of our surroundings and find meaning in the chaos. This drive has led to the development of cognitive sociolinguistics, a novel field of research that seeks to investigate the sociocognitive dimensions of language at a usage-based level. Advances in Cognitive Sociolinguistics: Cognitive Linguistics Research [CLR] 45 brings together ten studies that delve into the social and conceptual aspects of language, showcasing the importance of understanding the interplay between conceptual meaning and variationist factors. The book covers three main areas of lexical and lexical-semantic variation, constructional variation, and research on linguistic attitudes and acquisition, providing a comprehensive overview of the field.
