Abstract:

Over the past two decades, linguistic research into embodiment has
paid considerable attention to the human body and its individual
parts, particularly within typological and cognitively oriented
studies. This volume continues that line of inquiry with a specific
focus on the lower limb. It shows that, like other major body parts,
the lower limb serves as a highly productive source domain for a wide
range of conceptualisations across the world’s languages and cultures.
More generally, the book contributes to the growing body of work at
the intersection of cognition, language, and culture. It also engages
with embodiment theory, which posits that human cognition and language
are fundamentally grounded in sensory-motor experience.
