The intertwining of the evolutionary and individual time scales of human development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is the fundamentally cultural nature of language and cognition. Familiar topics in cognitive linguistics, such as spatial semantics and conceptual blending, are addressed from these cultural, comparative and developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological roots of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural approach to language evolution.Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics6.Language and cultureCognitive grammarPsycholinguisticsLanguage and culture.Cognitive grammar.Psycholinguistics.410.1/835Sinha Chris1786547NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910953817703321Ten lectures on language, culture and mind4318294UNINA
