I would like to thank Professor Thomas Li for the invitation to par- ticipate. It was a honour to present in a series which has featured so many distinguished cognitive linguists over the years."90-04-35770-X Includes bibliographical references.Front Matter -- Copyright page -- Note on Supplementary Material -- Preface by the Editors -- Preface by the Author -- About the Author -- From Leibniz to Wierzbicka: The History and Philosophy of nsm -- Semantic Primes and Their Grammar -- Explicating Emotion Concepts across Languages and Cultures -- Wonderful, Terrific, Fabulous: English Evaluational Adjectives -- Semantic Molecules and Semantic Complexity -- Words as Carriers of Cultural Meaning -- English Verb Semantics: Verbs of Doing and Saying -- English Verb Alternations and Constructions -- Applications of nsm: Minimal English, Cultural Scripts and Language Teaching -- Retrospect: nsm Compared with Other Approaches to Semantic Analysis.This lively lecture series by a leading expert introduces the theory, practice and application of a versatile, rigorous and well-developed approach to cross-linguistic semantics: the NSM approach originated by Anna Wierzbicka. Topics include: history and philosophy of the study of meaning, semantic primes and molecules, emotions, evaluation, verbs and event structure, cultural key words and scripts. Case studies come from English, Chinese, Danish, and other languages. Applications in language teaching and intercultural education are also covered, along with comparisons between NSM and other leading approaches to linguistic semantics. The book will appeal to students and scholars of linguistics at all levels, communication and translation scholars, and anyone interested in a systematic and non Anglocentric approach to meaning, culture and cognition.Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics21.SemanticsMetalanguageElectronic books.Semantics.Metalanguage.401/.43Goddard Cliff174092NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910479994803321Ten lectures on natural semantic metalanguage2214716UNINA03200nam 2200661Ia 450 991097126180332120251117092801.01-136-22877-20-203-09940-01-283-84560-11-136-22878-010.4324/9780203099407 (CKB)2670000000298910(EBL)1075175(OCoLC)821175682(SSID)ssj0000810916(PQKBManifestationID)11515064(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000810916(PQKBWorkID)10833665(PQKB)10447736(MiAaPQ)EBC1075175(Au-PeEL)EBL1075175(CaPaEBR)ebr10630969(CaONFJC)MIL415810(OCoLC)823738373(FINmELB)ELB136298(EXLCZ)99267000000029891020740606e20121974 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrExploring Buddhism /Christmas Humphreys1st ed.London Routledge2012London :Routledge,2012.1 online resource (187 p.)Routledge revivalsRoutledge revivalsIncludes index.0-415-53111-X 0-415-52676-0 Cover; Exploring Buddhism; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction; THE BUDDHA AND HIS ENLIGHTENMENT; 1 The Buddha's Enlightenment; The Purpose of Affray; 2 Buddhism and the Esoteric Tradition; 3 The Two Concentric Circles of Buddhism in Tibet; 4 Self and No-self; BUDDHIST DOCTRINES; 5 Central Themes of Buddhism; 6 The Precipice and the Mountain; 7 The Buddhist Concept of Dharma; When One is Two; 8 Karma and Rebirth; When I am Dead; 9 The Head and the Heart; Beauty; 10 The Arhat and the Bodhisattva Ideal; 11 Absolutely Relative; Cease from Running12 A Beginner's Guide to Zen13 Soto Zen; BUDDHISM COMES WEST; 14 Buddhism comes West; Search; 15 Why Buddhism?; 16 Zen comes West; ON DOING BUDDHISM; 17 On Doing Buddhism; 18 Buddhism in Daily Life; 19 Should Buddhists Meditate?; 20 Concentration and Meditation; Empty the Mind; Glossary; IndexThe Buddhist field of knowledge is now so vast that few can master all of it, and the study and application of its principles must be a matter of choice. One may choose the magnificent moral philosophy of Theravada, the oldest school, or the Zen training of Japan; or special themes such as the doctrine of No-self, the Mahayana emphasis on compassion or the universal law of Karma and Rebirth. But the intense self-discipline needed for true spiritual experience calls for specialization of subject and technique.
