内容简介：

This speech explores the rationales and existing efforts to integrate cognitive and corpus linguistic approaches in research on lexical semantics and usages. It will first discuss the theoretical grounds and rationales for conductive cognitive linguistics-inspired corpus research. Then, using concrete examples from existing research including the author’s published and ongoing studies, the speech will describe in detail the principles and procedures used in conducting such research. The examples given will help showcase how a cognitive linguistics-guided corpus research approach can not only produce new insightful understandings about lexical semantics and usages but also how cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics can complement each other in making research results more valid, reliable, and interesting. The speech will end with a discussion of the challenges involved in conducting cognitive linguistics-guided corpus research and strategies for overcoming such challenges.
