Lingüística cognitiva

Lingüística cognitiva, or cognitive linguistics, is a branch of linguistics that studies how language reflects the way our minds perceive and understand the world. It explores the relationship between language, thought, and experience, emphasizing that our mental processes influence how we use and interpret language. Instead of viewing language as a set of fixed rules, it sees it as a dynamic system grounded in our sensory perceptions, actions, and interactions. This approach helps explain how meanings are shaped by our cognitive abilities, making language a window into human cognition and perception.
