Abstract:

Embodiment in Latin Semantics introduces theories of embodied meaning
developed in the cognitive sciences to the study of Latin semantics. Bringing
together contributions from an international group of scholars, the volume
demonstrates the pervasive role that embodied cognitive structures and
processes play in conventional Latin expression across levels of lexical,
syntactic, and textual meaning construction. It shows not only the extent to
which universal aspects of human embodiment are reflected in Latin’s
semantics, but also the ways in which Latin speakers capitalize on embodied
understanding to express imaginative and culture-specific forms of meaning. In
this way, the volume makes good on the potential of the embodiment hypothesis
to enrich our understanding of meaning making in the Latin language, from the
level of word sense to that of literary thematics. It should interest anyone
concerned with how people, including in historical societies, create meaning
through language.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
