This is a collection of 37 of the most important, enduring, and
influential essays by one of the great linguists of this century,
gathered from a wide range of journals and books spanning four
decades.
"Language, Culture, and Mind" is a stimulating collection exploring
the ways that cognitive, social, and cultural categories are
revealed through language. Contributors use methods such as
psycholinguistic experiments and observations of natural discourse
to probe how such categories are organized, with grammatical and
semantic analyses--in modern cognitive frameworks--augmenting these
approaches. Some of the phenomena studied include the linguistic
expression of space and causality; aspect, classifiers, negation,
and complement constructions; and metaphor, metonymy, and
conceptual blending across different domains of human experience.
The result is a fresh perspective on the way language relates to
thought and culture.
