The papers in this collection discuss broadly understood cognitive turns in the philosophy of language, inspired by the Chomskyan revolution in linguistics, Langacker’s and Lakoff’s Cognitive Linguistics, but also phenomenology, Relevance Theory and Classical Indian Philosophy. The individual texts investigate, from different angles, the relations between philosophy of language and linguistics, and contribute to the development of theoretical frameworks for studying language. Most of the contributions were presented at the first International Conference on Philosophy of Language and Linguistics, PhiLang2009 (University of Łódź, May 2009).
Piotr Stalmaszczyk is professor of English language and linguistics at the University of Łódź (Poland), where he holds the Chair of English and General Linguistics. His research interests cover linguistic methodology, philosophy of language, generative grammar, and Celtic languages. His publications include numerous papers on syntax and semantics and two edited volumes on formal and philosophical turns in philosophy of language and linguistics.
