Publisher Synopsis
Prepared by researchers from universities in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, USA, Turkey and Holland, this volume constitutes a significant contribution to the field of cognitive and cultural linguistics. Just as the subtitle 'Across languages, fields and philosophical boundaries' suggests, the fifteen chapters cover an extensive selection of concepts and notions that are of interest for everyone dealing with such fields as language acquisition, video data analysis, gesture, Blending Theory, fictive motion and the like. [...] An important merit of the book is the fact that some papers go beyond mere linguistic investigations, and provide revealing insights into some cultural (Palmer; Goddard; Turner), socio-political (Coulson & Oakley) and psychological (Uehara; Pu) phenomena. -- Ignacy Nasalski, Jagiellonian University of Cracow, Poland, in Cognitive Linguistics, Vol. 21:2 (2010) Read more...
