This monograph aims to serve as a catalyst for the publication of high-quality papers on topics of importance for today´s society related to knowledge and language representation by delving into the latest approaches and methodologies within this field, particularly in the context of natural language understanding and processing.
Throughout the lens of cognitive science, the chapters showcase fresh insights into the construction and representation of meaning and knowledge, drawing upon notions, concepts, and analytical tools from sociology, artificial intelligence (AI), and various branches of linguistics, including functional, cognitive, computational and corpus linguistics.
Many of the chapters feature studies carried out within competitive research projects to illustrate the synergy between theoretical and computational linguistics alongside NLP techniques, which has yielded applications in sociology, sentiment analysis, and dementia pre-diagnosis. Other chapters present innovative research on the organizational power of metonymy and conceptual metaphor, on the implicational constructions and attitudinal and denotational figures of speech in the context of irony, as well as on the cognitive nature of attenuation and related figures like meiosis and litotes. Likewise, this monograph includes the latest research in the Formalised Lexical-Constructional Grammar (FL_CxG), highlighting its potential as a robust model of unification grammar with computational implementations.
In sum, this edited volume offers valuable reading and challenging ideas for (post)graduate students, researchers and scholars with an interest in these fields. There exists a distinct demand and opportunity for a publication that establishes a compelling link between the advancements in linguistics and computational models. The editors and authors believe that this work is a timely and pertinent scholarly addition to the significant needs within the domains of functional-cognitive and corpus linguistics, sociology, AI, and NLP.
