The Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University is one of the largest and most diverse centres for cognitive linguistics research in the UK.
Our research addresses 'core' areas of cognitive linguistics, including metaphor and figurativity, construction grammar, usage-based approaches to language acquisition and change, linguistic typology, and cultural and linguistic relativity. We also have strengths in more ‘applied’ areas of cognitive linguistics, including cognitive critical discourse analysis, cognitive stylistics, cognitive sociolinguistics, and second language learning.
