Abstract:

The book explores the conceptualization of the ‘heart’ as it is
represented in 19 languages, ranging from broadly studied to
endangered ones. Being one of the most extensively utilised body part
name for figurative usages, it lends itself to rich polysemy and a
wide array of metaphorical and metonymical meanings. The present book
offers a rich selection of papers which observe the lexeme ‘heart’
from diverse perspectives, employing primarily the frameworks of
cognitive and cultural linguistics as well as formal methodologies of
lexicology and morphology. The findings are unique and novel
contributions to the research of body-part semantics, embodied
cognition and metaphor analysis, and in general, the investigation of
the interconnectedness of language, culture, cognition and perception
about the human body.
