The contributions contained in the second volume of the two-volume
set Body, Language and Mind introduce and elaborate upon the
concept of sociocultural situatedness, understood broadly as the
way in which minds and cognitive processes are shaped, both
individually and collectively, by their interaction with
socioculturally contextualized structures and practices; and,
furthermore, how these structures interact, contextually, with
language and can become embodied in it. Drawing on theoretical
concepts and analytical tools within the purview of cognitive
linguistics and related fields, the volume explores the
relationship between body, language and mind, focusing on the
complex mutually reinforcing relationships holding between the
sociocultural contextualisation of language and, inversely, the
linguistic contextualisation of culure. Stated differently, the
notion of sociocultural situatedness allows for language to be seen
as a cultural activity and at the same time as a subtle mechanism
for organizing culture and thought. The volume offers a
representative, multi- and interdisciplinary collection of new
papers on sociocultural situatedness, bringing together for the
first time a wide variety of perspectives and case studies directed
explicitly to elucidating the analytical potential of this concept
for cognitive linguists and other researchers working in allied
fields such as AI, discourse studies and cognitive anthropology.
The book brings together several core issues related to the notion
of sociocultural situatedness, some of which have been addressed
previously, although to a large degree sporadically and from a
variety of disciplinary perspectives without fully exploring the
possible analytical advantages of this concept as a tool for
investigating the role of culturally entrenched schemata in
cognition and language. In short, this is the first comprehensive
survey of sociocultural situatedness theory.
