Use multiple sources to verify information

- do not directly copy information from sources

Reliable sources: = multiple perspectives, non biased, recent (if possible)

Edits to Conginitve Grammar page:

- lacks in depth descriptions of the book he wrote, specifics about the contents

-- requires an overview, at least, of each volume

""Volume one of the Foundations of Cognitive Grammar is entitled “Theoretical Prerequisites”. It features Langacker’s hypothesis that grammar may be deconstructed into patterns that come together in order to represent concepts. This volume concentrates on the broad scope of language especially in terms of the relationship between grammar and semantics."

"The two volumes of Foundations of Cognitive Grammar approach Langacker’s theories in different ways. Volume Two – quite distinct from Volume one -- bears the title “Descriptive Application”, as it moves beyond the first volume to elaborate on the ways in which Langacker’s previously described theories may be applied. Langacker employs his reader to utilize the tools presented in Foundations’ first volume in a wide range of, mainly English, grammatical situations."
