Cognitive linguistics is a field of linguistic study that investigates the relationship between language and cognition. It explores how the structure and function of language reflect general cognitive principles and processes, emphasizing the role of conceptual structure, embodiment, and experiential learning in shaping linguistic categories and meaning. This approach views language not as an autonomous module but as deeply integrated with other cognitive abilities such as perception, memory, and reasoning, offering insights into the cognitive underpinnings of linguistic phenomena across various levels of linguistic analysis.
