The first part of the book lays out the theoretical foundations of cognitive linguistics in accessible terms, explaining its central claim that language is not an autonomous system governed by abstract rules but a reflection of general cognitive processes, embodied experience and the social world. This sets it apart from the formal, rule-based grammars that have traditionally dominated language pedagogy. The second part turns to experimental evidence, presenting three original studies that apply cognitive linguistic principles to the teaching of English modals, prepositions and clause-level syntactic constructions - areas that L2 learners consistently find difficult precisely because traditional approaches treat them as arbitrary systems to be memorised. The experiments demonstrate that when learners are offered motivated, meaning-based explanations for these structures - showing, for instance, how the spatial logic underlying prepositions extends into their more abstract uses - comprehension and retention improve measurably. A thorough review of existing research in the field contextualises these findings, and a closing chapter on future directions includes an innovative analysis of English conditionals. Diagrams and sample exercises are provided throughout. The book occupies a useful middle ground between theoretical exposition and classroom application, making it relevant both to applied linguists exploring cognitive approaches and to practising teachers looking for alternatives to the traditional grammar rulebook. It remains one of the clearest entry points into the field for a second language audience. -- Contents: Introduction: Where Have We Been and Where Can We Go?; Basics of Cognitive Linguistics; Applying Cognitive Linguistics; Cognitive Linguistics in the L2 Learning Context; Applying Cognitive Linguistics to English Modal Verbs: Experimental Evidence; Applying Cognitive Linguistics to English Prepositions: Experimental Evidence; Applying Cognitive Linguistics to Clause Level Constructions: Experimental Evidence; Where We Are Now and Where We Might Go in the Future: Concluding Remarks; Sample Materials used for Group Work with Masters of Law Students; Materials for Tyler, Mueller and Ho (2010b): Cognitive Group; Traditional Group Materials; Traditional Group: Self-instruction Exercises; A Representative Diagram Explaining Elements from the Preposition Experiments; References; Index.
