Description: Semantic Extension, Subjectification, and Verbalization, Paperback by Shindo, Mika, ISBN 0761843272, ISBN-13 9780761843276, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Japanese cognitive linguistic scholar Shindo has focused her research on semantic extensions of perceptual and sensory expressions, and hypothesizes that the fields of perception and sensation should involve universal cognitive principles, because humans share almost identical bodily perceptions and functions. Here she offers evidence that the metaphorical extension of each word remains peculiarly restricted by its original characteristics, which demonstrates that the knowledge of language is firmly grounded in people's bodily experience. She offers four case studies of how adjectives originally describing a particular sense gradually took on abstract meaning. They are keen from the sense of touch, eager from taste, clear from sight, and plain from the sense of dimension. Other chapters set out the theory, methodology, implications for linguistics and other sciences. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
