This collection of twelve papers demonstrates that the concepts developed within the Cognitive Linguistics movement afford an insightful perspective on several important areas of second language acquisition and pedagogy.In the first part of the book, three papers show how three Cognitive Linguistics constructs provide a useful theoretical frame within which second language acquisition data can be analyzed. First, Talmy's typology of motion events is argued to constitute the base relative to which acquisition discrepancies in motion events are most valuably investigated. Secondly, the notion of "construction" is invoked in order to account for systematic differences between the native and non-native speakers' use of the English verb get. Finally, frequency and similarity effects are shown to play a crucial part in the learning of prepositions in a second language.The second part of the book shows that the key concepts commonly invoked in Cognitive Linguistics analyses allow language teachers to insightfully structure the presentation of problematic material in the foreign language classroom. These concepts include among others polysemy, the figure/ground gestalt, the usage-based conception of grammar, the radial organization of categories, metaphors, and cultural scripts. The Cognitive Linguistics paradigm has already shown itsviability to analyze a wide array of linguistic phenomena.This book establishes its relevance in the areas of second language acquisition and language pedagogy. Its intended public is composed of Cognitive Linguists, Second Language Acquisition specialists, as well as foreign language pedagogy researchers, instructors, and students.

Die Einrichtung bilingualer Bildungsgänge ist zu einer vorrangigen Aufgabe bundesdeutscher Bildungspolitik geworden. Mehr als 500 Schulen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland dokumentieren dies mit neuen oder neu strukturierten Curricula und Modellen. Sowohl Fremdsprachenunterricht als auch Sachfachunterricht profitieren von dieser Entwicklung. Die inzwischen erfolgte Vorverlagerung der Fremdsprachen in den Primarstufenbereich findet ebenfalls ihren Niederschlag in der bilingualen Bildungslandschaft. So ist es keine Überraschung, dass dieser Band, der als Wegbereiter des bilingualen Unterrichts im deutschsprachigen Raum gilt, auf eine breite Nachfrage gestoßen und zum Standardwerk in einem sich rasch ausbreitenden Lehr- und Forschungsbereich geworden ist. Dem Bedarf an Informationen, an Diskussion und am Austausch über Methoden und Theorien zu bilingualen Bildungsgängen kommen die Autorinnen und Autoren mit dieser verbesserten und erweiterten fünften Auflage nach. Die Bibliographie mit Kommentaren zu den einzelnen Quellen umfasst nunmehr den Zeitraum von 1996 bis 2010. Das Buch ist somit ein einzigartiger Fundus und unentbehrlicher Helfer für Praxis und Forschung.

As a usage-based language theory, cognitive linguistics is predestined to have an impact on applied research in such areas as language in society, ideology, language acquisition, language pedagogy. The present volumes are a first systematic attempt to carve out pathways from the links between language and cognition to the fields of language acquisition and language pedagogy and to deal with them in one coherent framework: applied cognitive linguistics.
