A Cognitive Grammar Approach to Teaching Tense and Aspect in the L2 Context

Abstract

The volume addresses a significant issue in the field of applied cognitive grammar by exploring the effectiveness of cognitive grammar theory for L2 instruction of less advanced learners in English tense and aspect forms. This is one of the few attempts to link cognitive grammar to the area of second-language teaching and learning. The volume’s outcome is a contribution to the body of empirical evidence promoting the new perspective on the process of teaching and learning about English language structures. The language structures in focus are English tense and aspect forms, which represent a great challenge for second-language learners.
