Phạm Thị Hồng Nhung
Abstract
Since its birth in the 70s, cognitive linguistics has greatly contributed to a comprehensive understanding of the connection between language and mind, of how language is learnt, especially of how human beings extract language knowledge from language use. Research on the application of cognitive linguistics to foreign language teaching for the last 10 years has provided valuable implications for language teachers.
