This book explores the concept of linguistic worldview, which is
underpinned by the underlying idea that languages, in their
lexicogrammatical structures and patterns of usage, encode
interpretations of reality that symbolize, shape, and construct
speakers' cultural experience. The volume traces the development of
the linguistic worldview conception from its origins in ancient
Greece to 20th-century linguistic relativity, Western
ethnosemantics, parallel movements in eastern Europe, and
contemporary inquiry into languacultures. It outlines the important
theoretical issues, surveys the major approaches, and identifies
areas of both convergence and discrepancy between them. By
proposing three sample analyses, the book highlights the relevant
questions addressed in different but compatible models, as well as
identifies possible avenues of their further development. Finally,
it considers several domains of potential interest to the
linguistic worldview agenda. Because inquiry into linguistic
worldviews concerns the sphere of the symbolic and the cultural, it
touches upon the very essence of human lives. This book will be of
interest to scholars working in cultural linguistics,
ethnolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, comparative semantics,
and translation studies.
