The remaining six lectures deal with semantic typology , the crosslinguistic study of how humans communicate about the world in terms of the meaning categories of the languages they speak. Together, the lectures present one of the first comprehensive introductions to either topic. A thread pervading the lectures involves the following questions: how much do languages vary in how they represent reality? To what extent does this variation reflect cultural differences? To what extent does it influence the nonverbal thinking of the speakers?.Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics ;14.Language and languagesResearchMethodologyLanguage and languagesResearchMethodology.410Bohnemeyer Jürgen1787412NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910964017203321Ten lectures on field semantics and semantic typology4320851UNINA
