Abstract

[In 1990 the Spanish rock band Héroes del Silencio were famous for a song with the title Entre dos Tierras (‘Between Two Worlds’) — this song title fairly nicely captures the essence of this volume. Unfortunately, linguistic pragmatics and cognitive linguistics present themselves as if they existed in different worlds, and therefore it has not always been easy to reconcile these theoretical frameworks with each other. However, I hope that I have successfully demonstrated that there is a huge potential in working on topics in a non-dogmatic way rather than staying within the confines of a single framework.]
