Abstract:

Research on the "embodiment hypothesis" within cognitive linguistics and 
beyond is growing steadily aiming to bridge language, culture, and cognition. 
This volume seeks to address the question regarding what specific roles 
individual body parts play in the embodied conceptualization of emotions, 
mental faculties, character traits, cultural values, and so on, in various cultures, 
as manifested in their respective languages. It brings together some linguistic 
evidence that sheds light on the embodied nature of human cognition from 
languages as diverse as Arabic, Chinese, Danish, English, Estonian, German, 
Greek, Indonesian, Japanese, Persian, Spanish, and Turkish. The studies in 
this volume also show how embodiment is mediated in those languages through 
such cognitive mechanisms as metonymy and metaphor.
