Abstract:

Cultural keywords are words around which whole discourses are organised. They
are culturally revealing, difficult to translate and semantically diverse.
They capture how speakers have paid attention to the worlds they live in and
embody socially recognised ways of thinking and feeling. The book contributes
to a global turn in cultural keyword studies by exploring keywords from
discourse communities in Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Japan, Melanesia,
Mexico and Scandinavia. Providing new case studies, the volume showcases the
diversity of ways in which cultural logics form and shape discourse.

The Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach is used as a unifying
framework for the studies. This approach offers an attractive methodology for
doing explorative discourse analysis on emic and culturally-sensitive grounds.
'Cultural Keywords in Discourse' will be of interest to researchers and
students of semantics, pragmatics, cultural discourse studies, linguistic
ethnography and intercultural communication.
