/><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> When the last speaker of a
language dies, s/he takes to oblivion the memories, associations and
the rich imagery this language community has once lived by. The
cultural heritage encoded in conventional linguistic metaphors, handed
down through generations, will be lost forever. This volume consists
of fifteen articles about metaphors in endangered languages, from Peru
to Alaska, from India to Ghana.<br /><br />The empirical data
demonstrate that the assumptions of contemporary cognitive linguistic
theory about “universal” metaphors and the underlying cognitive
processes are still far from plausible, since culture plays an
important role in the formation of metaphors. Moreover, that theory
has been based on knowledge of metaphors in some standard languages.
Indigenous and other minority languages, especially mainly orally used
ones, have been disregarded completely.<br /><br />Besides researchers
and students in linguistics, especially in metaphor and figurative
language theory, this compilation provides food for thought for
scholars in large fields of cultural studies, ranging from
anthropology and ethnology to folkloristics and philosophy.</p><br
