Abstract:

This volume presents novel cross-linguistic insights into how olfactory
experiences are expressed in typologically (un-)related languages both from a
synchronic and from a diachronic perspective. It contains a general
introduction to the topic and fourteen chapters based on philological
investigation and thorough fieldwork data from Basque, Beja, Fon, Formosan
languages, Hebrew, Indo-European languages, Japanese, Kartvelian languages,
Purepecha, and languages of northern Vanuatu. Topics discussed in the
individual chapters involve, inter alia, lexical olfactory repertoires and
naming strategies, non-literal meanings of olfactory expressions and their
semantic change, reduplication, colexification, mimetics, and language
contact. The findings provide the reader with a range of fascinating facts
about perception description, contribute to a deeper understanding of how
olfaction as an understudied sense is encoded linguistically, and offer new
theoretical perspectives on how some parts of our cognitive system are
verbalized cross-culturally. This volume is highly relevant to lexical
typologists, historical linguists, grammarians, and anthropologists.
