Expansion

This page is remarkably short on content and largely lists peoples names, and says nothing about cognitive linguistics other than to list important terms.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. You don't even need to log in, although there are several reasons why you might want to. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. — mark ✎ 21:03, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Linguist names in the list of subdisciplines

There is currently a minor edit conflict going on with regard to the inclusion of linguist names in the list of subdisciplines. I have removed the names again after their readdition by an anonymous editor and added a See also section with a link to List of cognitive scientists. However, since the list of linguists on that page is rather small, I think that the larger list of names removed from this article should be moved to a more comprehensive List of cognitive linguists.

Dominance

Sympathetic as I am towards CL, I can't agree with the contention that it is "the currently dominant school of linguistics". I doubt whtether cognitive linguists would themselves subscribe to such a statement.

I agree, and have changed it. — mark ✎ 09:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Definition

Isn't the definition of CL wrong? Clearly, CL is not about "interpreting language's universal concepts that lie in its underlying form" but about the human mental capacity for learning. The prior is actually an activity of formal linguistics. What am I missing here? MrsCaptcha (talk) 09:40, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

This entire page is due for a complete rewrite, which I'm planning on undertaking in a month or two. Feel free to make any changes you see fit to make. Charles Lowe (talk) 22:35, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I will begin with some changes myself, Charles Lowe. MrsCaptcha (talk) 17:27, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Introduction

I changed the wording of the first sentence a bit, but it is still near impenetrable. The intro in general needs a rewrite to make it understandable. Wikikrax (talk) 12:45, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
