Abstract

The attempts to explain constructions by Cognitivist Linguistics are usually based on ex-cessively schematic patterns, due to the lexicalist nature of Cognitivism. The aim of this article is double: on the one hand, we will try to prove that word order phenomena work like radial categories. Hence Cognitivism can provide a wide range of interpretations and interesting ideas about them. On the second hand, we wish to state that there exists a deep and significative relationship between Grammar and Cognition, as well as between use and syntax.
