六、讲座介绍：

     In the past two decades, cognitive and corpus linguistics have emerged as arguably the two most influential linguistic approaches in the field. This speech explores rationales and existing efforts to integrate cognitive and corpus linguistic approaches in language research and teaching. It will first briefly explore the theoretical grounds and rationales for combining the two linguistic approaches by focusing on the two approaches’ shared view of language as being meaning-centered and usage-based motivated by our embodied experience. Then, using concrete examples from the author’s published and ongoing research, the speech will describe in detail the principles and procedures used in conducting research that combines Cognitive and corpus linguistic approaches. The examples given will help showcase how such a combined approach can not only produce new insightful understandings about language use and teaching that could not be attained otherwise but also make language research and teaching more interesting. The speech will end with a discussion of the challenges involved in combining Cognitive and corpus linguistic approaches in language research.
