(Cognitive Linguistics is a branch of linguistics which analyzes language in terms of the concepts which underlie its forms. It denies any autonomous linguistic faculty or language acquisition device. Instead it holds that language is learned by general cognitive processes, that grammar can be understood in terms of conceptualization, and that language is learned from usage. The papers in this special section consider SLA from this perspective.)
