Abstract:

This book applies the theory of Cognitive Linguistics to the analysis
of a variety of grammatical phenomena in Non-Indo-European
languages. In previous studies of languages from Non-Indo-European
families, Cognitive Linguistics has been remarkably useful in
explaining non-prototypical structures as well as more common
ones. The book expands that effort into a new set of families and
languages.
