Abstract:

Embodiment in Cross-Linguistic Studies: The ‘Head’ edited by Iwona
Kraska-Szlenk adds to linguistic studies on embodied cognition and
conceptualization while focusing on one body part term from a comparative
perspective. The ‘head’ is investigated as a source domain for extending
multiple concepts in various target domains accessed via metaphor or metonymy.
The contributions in the volume provide comparative and case studies based on
analyses of the first-hand data from languages representing all continents and
diversified linguistic groups, including endangered languages of Africa,
Australia and Americas. The book offers new reflections on the relationship
between embodiment, cultural situatedness and universal tendencies of semantic
change. The findings contribute to general research on metaphor, metonymy, and
polysemy within a paradigm of cognitive linguistics.
