Contemporary data analytics involves extracting insights from data and translating them into action. With its turn towards empirical methods and convergent data sources, cognitive linguistics is a fertile context for data analytics. There are key differences between data analytics and statistical analysis as typically conceived. Though the former requires the latter, it emphasizes the role of domain-specific knowledge. Statistical analysis also tends to be associated with preconceived hypotheses and controlled data. Data analytics, on the other hand, can help explore unstructured datasets and inspire emergent questions. This volume addresses two key aspects in data analytics for cognitive linguistic work. Firstly, it elaborates the bottom-up guiding role of data analytics in the research trajectory, and how it helps to formulate and refine questions. Secondly, it shows how data analytics can suggest concrete courses of research-based action, which is crucial for cognitive linguistics to be truly applied. The papers in this volume impart various data analytic methods and report empirical studies across different areas of research and application. They aim to benefit new and experienced researchers alike.

Due to the growing use of web applications and communication devices, the use of data has increased throughout various industries, including business and healthcare. It is necessary to develop specific software programs that can analyze and interpret large amounts of data quickly in order to ensure adequate usage and predictive results. Cognitive Analytics: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications provides emerging perspectives on the theoretical and practical aspects of data analysis tools and techniques. It also examines the incorporation of pattern management as well as decision-making and prediction processes through the use of data management and analysis. Highlighting a range of topics such as natural language processing, big data, and pattern recognition, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for information technology professionals, software developers, data analysts, graduate-level students, researchers, computer engineers, software engineers, IT specialists, and academicians.

Cognitive Linguistics, the branch of linguistics that tries to "make one's account of human language accord with what is generally known about the mind and the brain," has become one of the most flourishing fields of contemporary linguistics. The chapters address many classic topics of Cognitive Linguistics. These topics include studies on the semantics of specific words (including polysemy and synonymy) as well as semantic characteristics of particular syntactic patterns / constructions (including constructional synonymy and the schematicity of constructions), the analysis of causatives, transitivity, and image-schematic aspects of posture verbs. The key characteristic of this volume is that all papers adopt the methodological perspective of Corpus Linguistics, the rapidly evolving branch of linguistics based on the computerized analysis of language used in authentic settings. Thus, the contributions do not only all provide various new insights in their respective fields, they also introduce new data as well as new corpus-based and quantitative methods of analysis. On the basis of their findings, the authors discuss both theoretical implications going well beyond the singular topics of the studies and show how the discipline of Cognitive Linguistics can benefit from the rigorous analysis of naturally-occurring language. The languages which are investigated are English, German, Dutch, and Russian, and the data come from a variety of different corpora. As such, the present volume will be of interest to a wide range of scholars with many different foci and interests and should pave the way for further integration of usage-based techniques of analysis within this exciting paradigm.

Cognitive Science, Computational Intelligence, and Data Analytics: Methods and Applications with Python introduces readers to the foundational concepts of data analysis, cognitive science, and computational intelligence, including AI and Machine Learning. The book's focus is on fundamental ideas, procedures, and computational intelligence tools that can be applied to a wide range of data analysis approaches, with applications that include mathematical programming, evolutionary simulation, machine learning, and logic-based models. It offers readers the fundamental and practical aspects of cognitive science and data analysis, exploring data analytics in terms of description, evolution, and applicability in real-life problems.The authors cover the history and evolution of cognitive analytics, methodological concerns in philosophy, syntax and semantics, understanding of generative linguistics, theory of memory and processing theory, structured and unstructured data, qualitative and quantitative data, measurement of variables, nominal, ordinals, intervals, and ratio scale data. The content in this book is tailored to the reader's needs in terms of both type and fundamentals, including coverage of multivariate analysis, CRISP methodology and SEMMA methodology. Each chapter provides practical, hands-on learning with real-world applications, including case studies and Python programs related to the key concepts being presented. - Demystifies the theory of data analytics using a step-by-step approach - Covers the intersection of cognitive science, computational intelligence, and data analytics by providing examples and case studies with applied algorithms, mathematics, and Python programming code - Introduces foundational data analytics techniques such as CRISP-DM, SEMMA, and Object Detection Models in the context of computational intelligence methods and tools - Covers key concepts of multivariate and cognitive data analytics such as factor analytics, principal component analytics, linear regression analysis, logistic regression analysis, and value chain applications

The Routledge Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics provides a comprehensive introduction and essential reference work to cognitive linguistics. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives and approaches, covering all the key areas of cognitive linguistics and drawing on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in pragmatics, discourse analysis, biolinguistics, ecolinguistics, evolutionary linguistics, neuroscience, language pedagogy, and translation studies. The forty-three chapters, written by international specialists in the field, cover four major areas: • Basic theories and hypotheses, including cognitive semantics, cognitive grammar, construction grammar, frame semantics, natural semantic metalanguage, and word grammar; • Central topics, including embodiment, image schemas, categorization, metaphor and metonymy, construal, iconicity, motivation, constructionalization, intersubjectivity, grounding, multimodality, cognitive pragmatics, cognitive poetics, humor, and linguistic synaesthesia, among others; • Interfaces between cognitive linguistics and other areas of linguistic study, including cultural linguistics, linguistic typology, figurative language, signed languages, gesture, language acquisition and pedagogy, translation studies, and digital lexicography; • New directions in cognitive linguistics, demonstrating the relevance of the approach to social, diachronic, neuroscientific, biological, ecological, multimodal, and quantitative studies. The Routledge Handbook of Cognitive Linguistics is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and for all researchers working in this area.
