Ongoing Projects & Research Areas
As Cognitive Linguistics picks up steam, helping more and more people to understand cognition, it will have profound impact on fields like language acquisition, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies. This page showcases the significant research domains that are already being affected by findings from CL. Join us in pushing the boundaries of human understanding!
Connections to Second Language Acquisition (Comprehensible Input Hypothesis)
Like Krashen's Comprehenisble Input Hypothesis? Krashen's Hypothesis is beautifully explained by Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Research is needed into the implications of CMT for Second Language Aquisition.

Methodologies for Annotating Language for Metaphor
This project is at the forefront of creating robust and reliable methods for metaphor annotation in large linguistic datasets. We are refining existing techniques and building new tools to make the complex process of identifying conceptual metaphors more efficient and accurate for researchers worldwide. Discover the power of systematic metaphor analysis, and maybe you can be the one to create a prompt to automate this incredible analysis!
