It is concluded that, compared to European structural linguistics, Cognitive Grammar arrives at a more realistic understanding of how language works in discourse, yet fails to offer a coherent theory of the linguistic sign. the assumption that a linguistic sign is a symbolic pairing of a form and a meaning) is actually very different from the Saussurean ‘signifiant’/‘signifié’ distinction, a number of concepts relevant to both theories (isomorphism, compositionality, and case marking) are discussed before addressing the semiotic heart of the matter, viz. In order to show that the “symbolic thesis” which motivates Cognitive Grammar (i.e. The basic differences and similarities between both theories are traced back to their respective definitions of the linguistic sign, which are only similar on the surface. This article focuses on the in part converging, in part diverging semiotic assumptions underlying European structural linguistics and Cognitive Grammar. A significantly less researched, yet no less interesting, relationship is the one between the cognitive and structuralist paradigm. The theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the cognitive paradigm have traditionally been discussed against the background of, and in opposition to, generative grammar, which is generally seen as the immediate predecessor of Cognitive Linguistics.

The emphasis is on issues in the field of access to food and to medicines and on the larger discussions on the present global and regional systems of intellectual property rights.

This report is the result of a research project, funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NWO-WOTRO Science for Global Development, on the role of intellectual property rights in realizing some of the MDGs. Central to this report is the double role of intellectual property rights – also referred to in terms like ‘protecting legitimate economic interests’ versus (or alongside) ‘the need to contribute to worldwide development from the perspective of sharing global public goods’, including knowledge. Poor management of intellectual property rights and the system of intellectual property rights itself hinder equal research partnerships between the South and the North, and often result in an over-cautious or one-sided Northern investment policy and unnecessary delays in the realization of some of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
