| Jackendoff (2003:
651-665) - We'll use this article to get a synoptic overview on the
relation of generative grammar to the cognitive sciences in general.
Subsequently we'll go into the open peer commentary in order to see how
divergent perspectives can be taken.

| Everett (2005:

| Nevins et al. (2009: 355-404) - We will finish Everett (2005) first and then come to the thorough reassessment. We shall be unravelling the argumentation.

09.07.2010
(#8)
| Geeraerts (2006: 1-28) - An overview article on
Cognitive Linguistics. Since Nevins et al.'s reassessment was well-discussed and somewhat efficiently talked through, we decided to go for the next topic - introducing fundamentals of Cognitive Linguistics.

16.07.2010
(#9)
| Colloquium on Cognitive Linguistics at the AS, 15:00 - circa 21:00 - This fits in neatly with our present concerns. Regular session is skipped in favour of attending the colloquium.

23.07.2010
(#10)
| Evans et al. (2007: 2-36) -
Another good overview
on Cognitive Linguistics. We'll be looking into those papers from a
non-dogmatic standpoint. We shall see what core features are generally
associated with this particular strand of linguistic thinking. After this session: Summer Break till October.
