Perception and Cognition in Language and Culture
ISBN: 9789004233676 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Every language has a way of talking about seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. In about a quarter of the world's languages, grammatical evidentials express means of perception. In some languages verbs of vision subsume cognitive meanings. In others, cognition is associated with a verb of auditory perception, touch, or smell. 'Vision' is not the universally preferred means of perception. In numerous cultures, taboos are associated with forbidden visual experience. Vision may be considered intrusive and aggressive, and linked with power. In contrast, 'hearing' and 'listening' are...

The Slave Trade and the Origins of International Human Rights Law
ISBN: 9780199368990 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a broad consensus among scholars that the idea of human rights was a product of the Enlightenment but that a self-conscious and broad-based human rights movement focused on international law only began after World War II. In this narrative, the nineteenth century's absence is conspicuous--few have considered that era seriously, much less written books on it. But as Jenny Martinez shows in this novel interpretation of the roots of human rights law, the foundation of the movement that we know today was a product of one of the nineteenth century's central moral causes: the movement to...

Possession and Ownership: A Cross-Linguistic Typology
ISBN: 9780198723004 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Possession and Ownership brings together linguists and anthropologists in a series of cross-linguistic explorations of expressions used to denote possession and ownership, concepts central to most if not all the varied cultures and ideologies of humankind. Possessive noun phrases can be broadly divided into three categories - ownership of property, whole-part relations (such as body and plant parts), and blood and affinal kinship relations. As Professor Aikhenvald shows in her extensive opening essay, the same possessive noun or pronoun phrase is used in English and in many other...

The Grammar of Knowledge: A Cross-Linguistic Typology
ISBN: 9780198736707 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Grammar of Knowledge offers both a linguistic and anthropological perspective on the expression of information sources, as well as inferences, assumptions, probability and possibility, and gradations of doubt and beliefs in a range of languages. The book investigates twelve different languages, from families including Tibeto-Burman, Nakh-Dagestani, and Austronesian, all of which share the property of requiring the source of information to be specified in every sentence. In these languages, it may not be possible to say merely that 'the man went fishing'. Instead, the source of evidence...
