La Porta and D. Shulman. 330 $aThis book examines the seemingly universal notion of a grammatical cosmos. Individual essays discuss how many of the great civilizations provide cognitive maps that emerge from a metaphysical linguistics in which sounds, syllables and other signs form the constructive elements of reality. The essays address cross-cultural issues such as: Why does grammar serve as a template in these cultures? How are such templates culturally contoured? To what end are they applied ? id est, what can one do with grammar ? , and how does it work upon the world? The book is divided into three sections that deal with the metaphysics of linguistic creation; practices of encoding and decoding as a means of deciphering reality; and language in the widest sense as a medium for self- and cultural transformation. Contributors include: Jan Assman, Sara Sviri, Michael Stone, M. Finkelberg, Yigal Bronner, Martin Kern, Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, Dan Martin, Jonathan Garb, Tom Hunter, David Shulman, and Sergio La Porta. 410 0$aJerusalem studies in religion and culture ;$vv. 6. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aLanguage and culture 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aLanguage and culture. 676 $a415.01 701 $aLa Porta$b S$0475812 701 $aShulman$b David Dean$f1949-$0919288 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811014603321 996 $aThe poetics of grammar and the metaphysics of sound and sign$94024438 997 $aUNINA
