Contents:
Table of contents; bringing language and cognition back together again; i; the true nature of typological linguistics; reassessing the project of linguistics; linguistic relativity, mediation and the categorization of motion; can we tell what we said when we hear ourselves saying something else?; tests of true pictorial competence in chimpanzees; ii; the construal of entity permanence; on the prototypicality of dimensional adjectives; basic and non-basic colour terms in hungarian; everyday experience in word meaning.
What can self-organizing maps reveal about the structure of emotion concepts? a case study of estoniana three-dimensional format for modelling lexical organization; iii; more than a metaphor; going towards the unknown; the swedish adjective varm ('warm'); domain knowledge in children's understanding of metaphors; iv; lexical and constructional organization of argument structure; impaired attention to phonological input, dysfunctional lexical"frequency counters" and impaired grammatical morphology; what can child language tell us about prepositions?; animacy and canonical word order; v.
Complex anaphors and their referentsimperative frames and the psychology of indirect speech acts; talking in and about conflicts; the father and the son; vi; gesture's role in creating and learning language; stages and transitions in children's semiotic development; pointing gestures, vocalizations and gaze; the expression of negation through grammar and gesture; gesture in the brain; the hand is quicker than the mind; towards a conceptualized model of bodily communication; vii; force-dynamics in the history of swedish modals; on the evolutionary history of 'yes' and 'no'
Semantic motivation and syntactic memorability in old norse kenningarauthors' addresses; index.
Summary: Using a plethora of concepts, theories and methods, the theoretical and empirical studies described in this volume are united in their approach of treating language not in isolation (e.g. as a "module"), but as both based on structures and processes of cognition, and at the same time as affecting the human mind. The book is organized in 7 parts, corresponding to some of the major fields in language research today: (a) linguistic meta-theory and general issues, (b) lexical meaning, (c) metapho ...
