About this title

Synopsis

Seeks to demonstrate that cultural patterns can be studied in a verifiable and nonspeculative way on the basis of linguistic semantics, rooted in empirically established linguistic and conceptual universals, and explores the meanings of words in everyday discourse and cognition. Contains chapters on patterns of "friendship" across cultures;, "freedom" in Latin, English, Russian, and Polish; "homeland" and "fatherland" in German, Polish, and Russian; Australian key words and core cultural values; and Japanese key words and core cultural values. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
