TALMY, LEONARD

Concept Structuring Systems (Toward a Cognitive Semantics, Vol. 1)

Bradford/MIT, 2001. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Nice bright like new copy in a like new dust jacket, pages clean, binding tight. 2001 Hard Cover. 564 pp. "Leonard Talmy defines the field of cognitive semantics. He approaches the question of how language organizes conceptual material both at a general level and by analyzing a crucial set of particular conceptual domains: space and time, motion and location, causation and force interaction, and attention and viewpoint. Talmy maintains that these are among the most fundamental parameters by which language structures conception. By combining these conceptual domains into an integrated whole, Talmy shows, we advance our understanding of the overall conceptual and semantic structure of natural language. Volume 1 examines the fundamental systems by which language shapes concepts.".
