Series topics

Cambridge Elements in Cognitive Linguistics seeks to build a dynamic collection of works that both spans the spectrum of the discipline and expands beyond its current confines.

Elements will be varied in nature, including those that:

• make significant advancements to theory and to methodologies in cognitive linguistics
• employ innovative approaches to the application of cognitive linguistics to new and established areas
• are tutorial-based, offering readers an interactive platform that employ practical examples

The Series will feature Elements, including but not limited to the application of cognitive linguistics to clinical linguistics, forensic linguistics, language teaching, neurolinguistics, pragmatics, reading and literacy, among others.

The series also benefits from the innovative online platform provided by Cambridge University Press, which includes the ability to host videos, data sets, and other interactive content.

About the Editor

Sarah E. Duffy is Senior Lecturer in English Language and Linguistics at Northumbria University. Her research examines how people use metaphor to understand and reason about abstract concepts, with a particular focus on time and individual variation. More broadly, she investigates how metaphor and temporal framing operate in institutional contexts, including education and the legal system. Her work appears in journals such as Cognitive Linguistics, Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, and Metaphor and Symbol, and she is co-author (with Michele Feist) of Time, Metaphor, and Language: A Cognitive Science Perspective (Cambridge University Press, 2023).
