Cilj je ovoga kolegija upoznati studente s osnovnim postavkama kognitivne lingvistike, točnije kognitivne semantike i kognitivne gramatike.
Kolegij se uvodi kraćim prikazom Američke lingvistike, tj. doprinosima Boasa, Sapira, Bloomfielda i Whorfa, odnosno točnije prikazom njihovih viđenja odnosa jezika, kulture i mišljenja. Tragom te tradicije uvode se temeljne postavke kognitivne lingvistike s posebnim težištem na pojmovima prototipa i kategorije. Nadalje, obrađuju se osnovne postavke kognitivne gramatike, termini poput sheme i domene, i posebna se pažnja posvećuje usporedbi strukturalističkih, transformaciono-generativnih i kognitivno gramatičkih pristupa gramatičkim pojavnostima. Gore navedene teorijske postavke analiziraju se na primjerima iz engleskoga i hrvatskoga jezika.
