La cognition dans le temps (Linguistische Arbeiten)

The articles in this volume are revised versions of papers presented at an international colloquium in Munich in 2001. With special reference to French, the authors attempt a cognitive interpretation of language features and texts from a decidedly historical viewpoint. Implicit in the project is the hope that 'cognitive history' will be able to establish itself as a third approach alongside external history (largely event-based) and internal history (derived from the structuralist model). Among the topics addressed are schematization, conceptualization, lexical variation, and enunciation.
