What makes us talk about viewpoint and perspective in linguistic
analyses and in literary texts, as well as in landscape art? Is
this shared vocabulary marking real connections between the
disparate phenomena? This volume argues that human cognition is not
only rooted in the human body, but also inherently 'viewpointed' as
a result; consequently, so are language and communication.
Dancygier and Sweetser bring together researchers who do not
typically meet on common ground: analysts of narrative and literary
style, linguists examining the uses of grammatical forms in signed
and spoken languages, and analysts of gesture accompanying speech.
Using models developed within cognitive linguistics, the book
uncovers surprising functional similarities across various
communicative forms, arguing for specific cognitive underpinnings
of such correlations. What emerges is a new understanding of the
role and structure of viewpoint and a groundbreaking methodology
for investigating communicative choices across various modalities
and discourse contexts.
