Based on fieldwork carried out in a Mayan village in Guatemala,
this book examines local understandings of mind through the lens of
language and culture. It focuses on a variety of grammatical
structures and discursive practices through which mental states are
encoded and social relations are expressed: inalienable
possessions, such as body parts and kinship terms; interjections,
such as 'ouch' and 'yuck'; complement-taking predicates, such as
'believe' and 'desire'; and grammatical categories such as mood,
status and evidentiality. And, more generally, it develops a
theoretical framework through which both community-specific and
human-general features of mind may be contrasted and compared. It
will be of interest to researchers and students working within the
disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and
philosophy.
