The central claim of cognitive grammar is that grammar forms a continuum with lexicon and is fully describable in terms of symbolic units (i.e. form-meaning pairings). In contrast to current orthodoxy, the author argues that grammar is not autonomous with respect to semantics, but rather reduces to patterns for the structuring and symbolization of conceptual content.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume suggests how to use the theoretical tools presented in Volume I, applying cognitive grammar to a broad array of representative grammatical phenomena, primarily (but by no means exclusively) drawn from English.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe amount of data and the wealth of analyses presented is impressive. . . . Langacker has again succeeded in producing a very stimulating and coherent piece of work. And the material analyses offered deserve much more careful attention and reflection than is possible within the limits of a review.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Canadian Journal of Linguistics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinding ways to talk about language as a cognitive process intricately interwoven with conceptual behavior seems to be the unifying concern of cognitive linguistics in general, and Langacker's work is of major significance in this respect. It has not been possible in this short review to do justice to the enormous complexity of the theoretical enterprise presented in \u003ci\u003eFoundations of Cognitive Grammar\u003c\/i\u003e nor the detail of analytical procedures and findings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e--Australian Journal of Linguistics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald W.
