Abstract:

The volume is the first comprehensive typological study of the
conceptualisation of temperature in languages as reflected in their systems of
central temperature terms (hot, cold, to freeze, etc.). The key issues
addressed here include questions such as how languages categorize the
temperature domain and what other uses the temperature expressions may have,
e.g., when metaphorically referring to emotions (‘warm words’). The volume
contains studies of more than 50 genetically, areally and typologically
diverse languages and is unique in considering cross-linguistic patterns
defined both by lexical and grammatical information. The detailed descriptions
of the linguistic and extra-linguistic facts will serve as an important step
in teasing apart the role of the different factors in how we speak about
temperature – neurophysiology, cognition, environment, social-cultural
practices, genetic relations among languages, and linguistic contact. The book
is a significant contribution to semantic typology, and will be of interest
for linguists, psychologists, anthropologists and philosophers.
