Dialogue No 17 -- Name index -- Subject index -- The series Converging Evidence in Language and Communication Research. 330 $aHow is the universal, yet private and subjective, experience of pain talked about by different people in everyday encounters? What does the analysis of pain-related lexico-phraseological choices, grammatical structures, and linguistic metaphors reveal as to how pain is perceived and experienced? Are pain utterances primarily used to express or to describe this experiential domain? This is the first book that investigates such questions from both a functional and a cognitive perspective: it combines two converging usage-based theoretical models in a systematic linguistic inquiry of the construal of pain in everyday language. This work is based on a specialised electronic corpus of Greek naturally-occurring dialogues in a health care context, the underlying assumption being that in the absence of factual evidence intuition about language cannot reliably detect or predict patterns of usage. Comparing Greek with English data, this book significantly contributes to the development of this research field cross-linguistically. 410 0$aConverging evidence in language and communication research ;$vv. 9. 606 $aPsycholinguistics$xData processing 606 $aPain$xData processing 606 $aLexicology$xData processing 606 $aGreek language, Modern$xPsychological aspects$xData processing 615 0$aPsycholinguistics$xData processing. 615 0$aPain$xData processing. 615 0$aLexicology$xData processing. 615 0$aGreek language, Modern$xPsychological aspects$xData processing. 676 $a410.1/9 700 $aLascaratou$b Chryssoula$0780862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959811103321 996 $aThe language of pain$94344808 997 $aUNINA
