Ten Lectures on Language, Culture and Mind
Author : Chris Sinha
Publisher : BRILL
Page : 367 pages
File Size : 45,72 MB
Release : 2017-08-28
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
ISBN : 900434909X
Book Description
In this interdisciplinary collection of lectures, Chris Sinha presents an overview of topics ranging from language in children’s play, through cultural conceptualizations of time, to philosophical and linguistic relativism. The intertwining of the evolutionary and individual time scales of human development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is the fundamentally cultural nature of language and cognition. Familiar topics in cognitive linguistics, such as spatial semantics and conceptual blending, are addressed from these cultural, comparative and developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological roots of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural approach to language evolution.

Book Description
Here is 'plainspoken' poetry par excellence, accessible and apolitical. The poems in this collection continue to sound 'natural' note as in previous previous volumes. Poetry lovers may find additional interest in the poet's humorous or idiosyncratic response to subject—a response yet allowing for a certain pathos in many instances. Lovers of form will not be disappointed. Here, rhyme and rhythm emphasize meaning in calculated ways. The poet's flood subjects are human interactions and a highly individual perception of various phenomena—in terms that are laudatory and, in general, uplifting

ISBN : 1841624462
Book Description
Situated in the centre of Italy, Abruzzo lies just an hour's drive from Rome. Often overlooked, it has never been discovered by mass tourism. Abruzzo has something for everyone: hiking on the slopes of the Majella mountain range, wine tasting along olive-strewn roads that disappear into the labyrinths of ancient towns, shopping through the sunny, pastel streets of Pescara or skiing on the highest peaks of the central Apennines. This updated guide explores towns and villages well off the beaten track. It also goes into greater depth on the region than its competitors, with more detail on the history, culture and sights, and more opinionated and entertaining reviews of hotels and restaurants.
