Abstract:

In this interdisciplinary collection of lectures, Chris Sinha presents an
overview of topics ranging from language in children’s play, through cultural
conceptualizations of time, to philosophical and linguistic relativism. The
intertwining of the evolutionary and individual time scales of human
development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is the fundamentally
cultural nature of language and cognition.

Familiar topics in cognitive linguistics, such as spatial semantics and
conceptual blending, are addressed from these cultural, comparative and
developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological roots
of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural approach
to language evolution.
