This book offers a cognitive-semantic insight into the roots of the
human decisionmaking process, using the metaphor of CHOICE as CUBE.
The areas of key interest are language, culture, and education as
forms of social organization. This book addresses issues relevant
to a number of fields, including social epistemology, cognitive
linguistics, cognitive anthropology, philosophy, culture and
education studies, and will be of interest to readers in these and
related disciplines.
This volume has its origins in an international conference on
emotions organized by the Polish Association for the Study of
English and held at the University of Wroclaw in April 2015. In the
course of the conference, it became clear that emotions are
productively explored with relation to motion for the reason that
emotion(s) and motion(s) constitute profoundly intertwined
dimensions of physical and cultural embodiment reflected in
language. The relationship between motion(s) and emotion(s) became
the underlying theme of this volume, which comprises nineteen
contributions presenting exploratory and applicative accounts of
(e)motion(s) situated in topical research areas of linguistic
theory, second language acquisition, and translation studies.

The origins of this volume lie in the international conference
Cognitive Linguistics in the Year 2012, convened by the Polish
Cognitive Linguistics Association. The proceedings of the
conference revolved around three major thematic areas: metaphorical
and metonymic underpinnings of meaning in language and beyond,
prototypical and gradual phenomena pertaining to linguistic
categorization across the lexicogrammatical continuum, and the need
for advancing theoretical tools. These recurring themes are
reflected in the three-part structure of this volume, with
contributions from nearly two dozen researchers exploring a broad
array of linguistic as well as non-linguistic data.
