The book presents an ethnolinguistic study on lexical expressions
of honor in the Language of Early Arabic Poetry. It is the first
application of Cultural-Linguistic methodology in research on the
language and culture of al-Jahiliyya Arabs. Consequently, it is one
of the first cultural cognitive linguistic studies on Classical
Arabic semantics and lexicology. The book examines the use of
Arabic honor-related lexis in the oral-formulaic pre-Islamic
poetry, and interprets lexical expressions as encoding cultural
conceptualizations: cognitive schemata and categories, and
conceptual metaphors and metonymies. An exhaustive description of
pre-Islamic Arabic cultural models of honor and social evaluation
is offered alongside semantic frames for discourses of honor
available to pre-Islamic Arabs.
