Native speakers of the three languages were asked to design visual representations of expressions referring to baldness phenomena in an online experiment. These sets of visualizations are used to determine conceptual overlap or distance between expressions in the three languages, resulting in lexical-conceptual 'maps' for MALE BALDNESS. The study is discussed against the background of an embodied, perceptual symbol-based understanding of linguistic meaning. An additional part of the book applies this perspective to the issue of translation, developing a process model of translation activity based on the concept of cognitive equivalence. The book presents a novel approach to lexical semantics, tested through an innovative experimental method grounded in cognitive linguistic theory. It will be highly interesting to scholars in cognitive semantics, contrastive semantics, embodied cognition and cognitive translation studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHuman cognitive processing ;$vVolume 63.$x1387-6724 606 $aMental representation 606 $aBaldness$vTerminology 606 $aEnglish language$xPsychological aspects 606 $aGerman language$xPsychological aspects 606 $aJapanese language$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMental representation. 615 0$aBaldness 615 0$aEnglish language$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aGerman language$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aJapanese language$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a401/.43 700 $aSickinger$b Pawel$01714485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819081003321 996 $aMental models across languages$94108336 997 $aUNINA
