Constructional and Cognitive Explorations of Contrastive Linguistics

BookHardcover
EUR140,00

Product description

This book approaches the field of contrastive linguistics from a comparative and robust perspective that combines the tenets of construction grammar and cognitive linguistics. In doing so, it shows how their integration can help to successfully enhance research on contrastivity, by means of updated theoretical frameworks and applied methodologies that combine language and thought. It compares ten different languages and offers analyses of constructions at all levels of the linguistic organization, identifying the cognitive motivations that instantiate the linguistic data retrieved from corpora. Relevant to both cognitive and non-cognitive linguists interested in variation and contrastive approaches, as well as graduate students in these areas, this book makes a significant contribution to existing work on the various types of constructional and discourse-based phenomena in modern languages.

Mit dem "Atlas der verlorenen Sprache" geht die Reise einmal um den Globus. Es beschreibt 50 der ungewöhnlichsten Sprachen, die bereits verloren oder gefährdet sind, bis hin zu Sprachräumen wo es gerade noch einmal 10 Menschen gibt, die ihre eigene Sprache noch am Leben erhalten. Von irokesisch bis Hopi, von Saterfriesisch bis Himba, von Tofalarisch bis weit in den südlichen Pazifik zum australischen Wangkanguru! Die wunderschönen Illustrationen von Hanna Zeckau machen dem Leser richtig Lust in die Geschichten einzutauchen, denn es gibt viel ungewöhnliches und spannendes zu entdecken. Das Gefühl von Sprachenvielfalt und dem Kulturkreis in dem wir aufwachsen und uns bewegen, beschreibt die Pulitzer-Preisträgerin Jhumpa Lahiri treffend in ihrer Feststellung: ?Wenn eine Sprache, mit der man sich identifiziert, weit weg ist, tut man alles, um sie lebendig zu halten. Weil die Wörter alles zurückbringen: den Ort, die Menschen, das leben, die Straßen, den Himmel, die Blumen, die Geräusche.?
