“…These include prototype theory and categorization theory ( Rosch 1975 ) as well as conceptual metaphor and metonymy theories ( Lakoff and Johnson 1980a ), embodied realism and cognitive pragmatics. Some recent examples of this are Wen and Fu’s ( Wen and Fu 2021 ) examination of categorization as an ubiquitous component in reality and Zaifert’s ( Zeifert 2022 ) elaboration of prototype theory. Second, there is the Gestalt-psychology-based orientation which influenced Lakoff’s “Linguistic gestalt” ( Lakoff 1977 ), Langacker’s “Foundations of cognitive grammar” ( Langacker 1987 ) and Fillmore, Kay and O’Conner’s construction grammar ( Fillmore et al 1988 ) as well as varieties of constructional approaches to cognitive grammar ( Langacker 2009 ).…”

Language acquisition, processing, comprehension, and production encompass a complex mechanism. Particularly, the mechanisms by which we make sense of language, including perception, conceptualization, and processing, have been controversial topics among cognitive linguists and researchers in cognitive sciences. Cognitive processes such as attention, thought, perception, and memory play a significant role in meaningful human communication. This study aimed to apply the science mapping method to detect and visualize emerging trends and patterns in literature pertaining to cognitive linguistics. In order to accomplish this, eight bibliometric and eight scientometric indicators were used in conjunction with CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 for scientometric analysis and data visualisation. The data were collected and triangulated from three databases, including 2380 from Scopus, 1732 from WOS, and 9911 from Lens from 1969 to 2022. Among the findings were the visualization of eight bibliometric indicators regarding the knowledge production size of cognitive linguistics based on year, country, university, journal, publisher, research area, authors, and cited documents. Second, we presented scientometric indicators with regard to cognitive linguistics development, including the most important authors in the field, co-citation networks, citation networks, sigma metrics to detect works with potential citation growth, and clusters to group related topics to cognitive linguistics. We conclude the study by emphasizing that cognitive linguistics has evolved from the micro level where it focused on studying cognitive aspects of language in relation to time, language, and modality dimensions, to the macro level, which examines cognitive processes and their relationship to the construction of meaningful communication using both sensation and perception.
