Cognitive linguistics subsumes varied theoretical methods sharing a suitable outlook: particularly that language displays the interplay of social, cultural, mental, communicative, and practical concerns that may be understood simply within the context of cognitive improvement and processing. The editors have prepared 27 papers provided on the 3rd foreign Linguistics convention held in the summertime of 1993 in Louvain, Belgium, into six a little overlapping groupings off theoretical concerns in regards to the bridges among generative and cognitive linguistics; lexical semantics and morphology (e.g. Langacker semantics for opt for Coeur d'Alene prefixes); metaphor (one name is "Why metaphor issues: or linguistics meets the geopolitics of law"); syntax and semantics (focusing on Samoan, Spanish, and Swedish); pragmatics (nominal vs. temporal interpretation); and Holmqvist on computational linguistics.

Those concepts of limits are very important for the formalization of ILNs like dessus 'top extremity', bord 'edge', angle 'corner', etc. At this geometrical level we also add two types of contact, a strong one (the individuals in contact are assumed to "share some boundary points") and a weak one (the individuals do not have any common point although they are touching together), which seems to be very close to common sense. Let us indicate that contact plays a great role in the semantics of the relation sur On'.
Anyone taking the cognitive linguistics-construction-based approach has to explain why the same restriction occurs on each construction. Clearly, the language learner is not required to learn this restriction anew each time a new meaning for the structure is learned. The obvious generalization is that the restriction is linked to the structure itself, and is not part of each construction in which the structure participates. Thus the autonomy thesis, which characterizes structures, not constructions, receives support.
Various combinations are allowed; they are fully described in Vieu 199la. The formalization of the semantics of sur and dans is done at the functional level, on the basis of the observations we just made. A complete account of these formal definitions is given in Aurnague 1991; Vieu 199la; Aurnague and Vieu 1993a, 1993b. As we pointed out in the introduction, it is important to check whether the definitions we give in our system allow inferences in accordance with "natural" deductions. From le vase est sur le dessus de l'armoire 'the vase is on the top extremity of the cupboard', the system is able to infer le vase est sur le haut de l'armoire 'the vase is in the cupboard'.
