Bøger i Lodz Studies in Language serien

Culture and language provide two essential frameworks to deal with the concept of time. Relying on empirical methods, the book explores language users' perception and conceptualization of time across such research domains as temporal processing, language acquisition, philosophy, literature, the arts, and non-verbal communication.

The main topic of this volume is human interaction. It is approached from two complementary perspectives: the intrapersonal and the interpersonal. The intrapersonal view concerns issues like cognition, linguistic construal, metonymy, and the representation of motion and gestures. The interpersonal articles discuss the issue of identity.
