This comparative volume continues the series on embodied cognition and conceptualization with a focus on the human ‘face’. Each contribution to this volume presents descriptions and analyses of how languages name the ‘face’ and utilize metonymy, metaphor, and polysemy to extend the ‘face’ to overlapping target domains. The contributions include primary and secondary data representing languages originating from around the world. The chapters represent multiple theoretical approaches to describing linguistic embodiment, including cultural, historical, descriptive, and cognitive frameworks. The findings from this diverse set of theoretical approaches and languages contribute to general research in cognitive linguistics, cultural linguistics, and onomastics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables, Diagrams and Figures  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Kelsie Pattillo and Małgorzata Waśniewska    1 Cross-Linguistic ‘Face’ Expressions and Extensions   Kelsie Pattillo    2 Facts about ‘Face’ That We Ought to Face   Jan Henrik Holst    3 Face in Dene Languages   Conor Snoek    4 The Lexeme ‘Face’ in Languages of Northwestern Papua New Guinea: An Exploratory Study   José Antonio Jódar Sánchez    5 Synonyms of twarz ‘Face’ in Polish from a Cognitive-Linguistic Perspective   Małgorzata Waśniewska    6 The Concept of ‘Face’ in Nineteenth-Century Polish   Magdalena Derwojedowa and Magdalena Zawisławska    7 Constructions with lice (‘Face’) in Croatian: Lexico-Grammar and Cultural Models   Sanja Kiš Žuvela and Jelena Parizoska    8 Framing the Face: The Case of the Italian ‘faccia’   Maria Załęska and Giacomo Ferrari    9 The Embodiment of Emotions in Turkish Face Constructions   Melike Baş    10 Body Part Extensions with mặt ‘Face’ in Vietnamese   Annika Tjuka    11 The Cultural and Linguistic Conceptualizations of yeeso ‘Face’ in Fulfulde   Ahmadu Shehu    12 The Affordances of ‘Face’ in Dalabon, Gunwinyguan, Non-Paman-Nyungan, Australia   Maïa Ponsonnet    Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210849804631,"sku":"9789004521964","price":119.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/embodiment-in-cross-linguistic-studies-the-face-9789004521964","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
