Embodiment in Cross-Linguistic Studies
The âHeartâ
Series:
The book explores the conceptualization of the âheartâ as it is represented in 19 languages, ranging from broadly studied to endangered ones. Being one of the most extensively utilised body part name for figurative usages, it lends itself to rich polysemy and a wide array of metaphorical and metonymical meanings. The present book offers a rich selection of papers which observe the lexeme âheartâ from diverse perspectives, employing primarily the frameworks of cognitive and cultural linguistics as well as formal methodologies of lexicology and morphology. The findings are unique and novel contributions to the research of body-part semantics, embodied cognition and metaphor analysis, and in general, the investigation of the interconnectedness of language, culture, cognition and perception about the human body.
Judit Baranyiné Kóczy is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Pannonia, Veszprém, Hungary. Her research focuses on language, conceptualisation, and culture within the framework of cognitive semantics, Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and Cultural Linguistics. She studies embodiment via body-parts, embodied cultural metaphors, folk cultural metaphors and corpus linguistics. She is the author of Nature, Metaphor, Culture: Cultural Conceptualizations in Hungarian Folksongs (Springer, 2018).
Katalin SipÅcz is the head of the Finno-Ugric Department at the University of Szeged, where she teaches Finno-Ugric Linguistics. Her Ph.D. dissertation dealt with body part terms in Uralic languages. Currently, her research mainly focuses on Ob-Ugric languages (West-Siberia), in particular Mansi. After conducting fieldwork, she has published a monograph about Mansi color terms, and recently she has investigated several aspects of Mansi syntax (negation, transitivity, ditransitivity).
