ABSTRACT
In Chapter 12, readers will learn about the main theories and approaches of cognitive linguistics. In particular, they will become aware of the difference between cognitive grammar and cognitive semantics and about fundamental commitments in cognitive linguistics and imaging systems and its components. They will further learn about translation and its relations to the configurational, attentional, perspectival, and force dynamic systems. After studying this chapter, readers will be in a position to apply the above theoretical concepts to the process of translation, thus managing to make their own translation more in line with the underlying cognitive systems of the original text.
