It includes in-depth case studies of languages situated in different cultural contexts in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Oceania. It also provides insights into cross-linguistic comparison of conceptualization patterns and semantic extension of the term ‘eye’ on various target domains. The contributions in the volume present a range of cultural models associated with the visual organ which take into account socio-cultural factors and language usage practices. The book offers new material and novel analyses within the subject of polysemy of body part terms. It also adds to studies on metaphor, metonymy and cultural conceptualizations within a cognitive linguistic paradigm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: The Overview of the Volume   Melike Baş and Iwona Kraska-Szlenk    Part 1 Crosslinguistic Studies    1 General Patterns in Semantic Expressions of the ‘Eye’   Kelsie Pattillo    2 Investigating Entities “Placed” in the Eye in a Cross-Linguistic Perspective   Małgorzata Waśniewska    Part 2 Case Studies from Europe    3 The Moral Eye: A Study of Hungarian szem   Judit Baranyiné Kóczy    4 A Corpus Study of the Semantic Extensions of the Eye in Turkish   Melike Baş    5 Polish oko ‘Eye’ and Its (Quasi) Diminutive oczko: Semantic Extensions and Usage Patterns   Iwona Kraska-Szlenk    Part 3 Case Studies from Asia    6 Metaphorical Mappings of ‘Eye’ in Chinese   Xiugui Qin and Yongxian Luo    7 Aankhon-aankhon me (‘In between the Eyes’): A Cognitive-Linguistic View of the ‘Eye’ Metaphors in Hindi   Suneeta Mishra    8 A Glance at the Mongolian Eye   Jan Rogala    9 Preliminary Study on ‘Eye’ in the Tibetan Language (with Reference to Literature)   Agata Bareja-Starzyńska    Part 4 Case Studies from Africa    10 What Do eyes Mean to a Pullo?
