Titolo

A more full discovery of the use and vertue of those golden purging pills [[electronic resource] ] : eminently helpful in the most inveterate diseases either in young or old; where other medicines prove ineffectual. Found by great study, costs, and pains, and now communicated for the publick good of all that stand in need of their balsamick vertue. Whereunto is added a plain, and short method, whereby every one of an indifferent capacity (by the signs and causes of most diseases of humane bodies) may know under what distemper they labor and how, and by what means my pill effects their relief. / / By Anthony Colly, physitian and chymist to his Majesty in ordinary

Sommario/riassunto

The Body in Language: Comparative studies of Linguistic Embodiment provides new insights into the theory of linguistic embodiment in its universal and cultural aspects. The contributions of the volume offer theoretical reflections on grammaticalization, lexical semantics, philosophy, multimodal communication and - by discussing metaphorization and metonymy in figurative language - on cognitive linguistics in general. Case studies contribute first-hand data on embodiment from more than 15 languages and present findings on the body in language in diverse cultures from various continents. Embodiment fundamentally underlies human conceptualization and the present discussions reveal a wide range of target domains in conceptual transfers with the body as the source domain.
