With a Foreword by Leonard Talmy
Volume Editor:
Cognitive semantics is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of meaning and mind. The Handbook of Cognitive Semantics is the first reference work in the field. Edited by Thomas Fuyin Li, with a detailed taxonomy of the field by Leonard Talmy, it provides an overview of the basic topics and recent developments. Since its origins, cognitive semantics has grown greatly in the range and depth of its research on conceptual structure in language. The Handbook shows that cognitive semantics has become a mature discipline that advances linguistic meaning to a central place in research on cognition. This is the fourth volume in a set of four. It contains the following parts: Part X: Force and Causation Part XI: Attention Part XII: The Targeting System of Language

Brill’s Handbooks in Linguistics series publishes comprehensive reference works on the language sciences. While works on all relevant fields are welcome, particular attention is paid to new and emerging fields, fields which do not yet have comprehensive reference works, and fields which do have such reference works but these are outdated. The series is currently being revamped, with several handbooks in the pipeline. Topics of upcoming volumes include Formosan Languages, Contrastive Pragmatics, and Cognitive Semantics.
With an Introduction by Leonard Talmy
Editor:
Since the late 20th century, cognitive linguistics has developed into one of the most dynamic approaches in theoretical linguistics. Several handbooks have been published on the subject, but until now no handbook has been dedicated to cognitive semantics. This is despite the fact that cognitive semantics – while an inseparable part of cognitive linguistics – has its own distinctive framework and features. To address the ever-growing interest in and audience for cognitive semantics, there is therefore a great need for a standard reference work on the topic, which the Handbook of Cognitive Semantics satisfies. In the handbook, leading researchers on cognitive semantics from around the world take the relationship between meaning and mind as the central concern. There are dedicated sections for basic concepts, theoretical models, methodology, model and schemas, space and event typology, causation, and attention.
This handbook is published in four volumes, as follows: Volume 1 (published April 2023)
Part I: Conceptual Semantics
Part II: Basic Issues
Vols. 2, 3, and 4 are forthcoming in October 2023.
Volume 2
Part III: Essential Concepts
Part IV: Semantic Categories
Part V: Methodology
Part VI: Models and Schemas
Volume 3
Part VII: Space and Time
Part VIII: Event Typology
Part IX: Meaning Construction
Volume 4
Part X: Force and Causation
Part XI: Attention
Part XII: The Targeting System of Language

Abstract
Throughout Central and South America, similar words for salient rodent species, the agoutis (Dasyprocta spp.), reconstruct to some of the most ancient known languages families in the species’ range, including Chibchan (*’kuri), Cariban (*akuri), Tupian (*akutˀi), and others. Unless these are dismissed as mere chance, this makes for as interesting as problematic evidence for deep linguistic history: what mechanisms account for the striking similarities that must go back far into prehistory? One possibility is that the words are lexical evidence for very old genealogical connections. While this is a possibility worth bearing in mind also in light of current and past suggestions that involve some of the relevant groups, we cannot conclude that this is indeed the case on the basis of the available evidence. Another, and perhaps less costly, hypothesis is very old borrowing involving relevant proto-languages or their ancestors However, is this a plausible scenario? On the basis of a large set of data featuring more than 400 languages from Central and South America, I show that neighboring languages have relatively frequently borrowed agouti-words from one another, involving reflexes of the above forms, but also others. This shows that it is natural to expect borrowing my. In either case, the similarities likely demonstrate very old interactions between the mentioned lineages, something with interesting implications on homeland hypotheses and scenarios of early spread.

Abstract
This article is focusing on the following question: to what extent the morphological proximity between the french linguistic connector en fait and the italian linguistic connector infatti reveals a semantic proximity? In the framework of a lexical analysis, the prepositions en and in, as well as fait and fatti, it is needed to verify that the possibility of use of a connector can be determined by various parameters combining the semantic, lexical and morphological aspects. It is also important to highlight that both the French and Italian connectors are not always used within similar contexts and that the semes in the nominal core and in the preposition persist more in en fait than in infatti.

Abstract
This article addresses the nominal use of the suffix -isme in French, as in the sentence “êtes-vous la victime d’un isme?” (“are you the victim of an ism?”). Using data from a media corpus, first I observe that there are occurrences where the suffix -isme is indeed a noun with a referential meaning (i.e. referring to extralinguistic objects), refering to doctrines, movements, religions or attitudes. Then, I observe that the suffix -isme is associated with axiologically negative realities (especially conflict) in its nominal use. From this information, I try to answer two questions: what is isme the name of and how to describe the negative assessment associated to it?
