The volume explores the body part 'eye' as a source domain in
conceptualization and a vehicle of embodied cognition. It includes
in-depth case studies of languages situated in different cultural
contexts in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania. It also
provides insights into cross-linguistic comparison of
conceptualization patterns and semantic extension of the term 'eye'
on various target domains. The contributions in the volume present
a range of cultural models associated with the visual organ which
take into account socio-cultural factors and language usage
practices. The book offers new material and novel analyses within
the subject of polysemy of body part terms. It also adds to studies
on metaphor, metonymy and cultural conceptualizations within a
cognitive linguistic paradigm.
