Abstract:

The volume focuses on body part terms as the vehicle of embodied cognition and
conceptualization. It explores the relationship between universal embodiment,
language-specific cultural models and linguistic usage practices. The chapters
of the volume add to the previous research in a novel way. The presentation of
original data from previously undescribed languages spoken by small
communities in Africa and South America allows to discover unknown aspects of
embodiment and to propose new interpretations. Well-known languages are
analyzed from a new perspective relying on the benefits of linguistic corpora.
Contrastive and theoretically oriented studies help to pinpoint similarities
and differences among languages, as well as tendencies in conceptualization
patterns and semantic development of the lexis of body part terms. The volume
contributes to the field of linguistics, but also to cognitive science,
anthropology and cultural studies.
