Language and Time / Vyvyan Evans

Public ISBD Titre : Language and Time : A Cognitive Linguistics Approach Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vyvyan Evans, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 266 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-04380-0 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Language  Time Résumé : Using language and thought to fix events in time is one of the most complex computational feats that humans perform. In the first book-length taxonomy of temporal frames of reference, Vyvyan Evans provides an overview of the role of space in structuring human representations of time. Challenging the assumption that time is straightforwardly structured in terms of space, he shows that while space is important for temporal representation, time is nevertheless separate and distinguishable from it. Evans argues for three distinct temporal frames of reference in language and cognition and evaluates the nature of temporal reference from a cross-linguistic perspective. His central thesis is that the hallmark of temporal reference is transience, a property unique to the domain of time. This important study has implications not only for the relationship between space and time, but also for that between language and figurative thought, and the nature of linguistically-mediated meaning construction.

The Crucible of Language. / Vyvyan Evans

Public ISBD Titre : The Crucible of Language. : How Language and Mind Create Meaning. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Vyvyan Evans, Auteur Editeur : Columbia University Press Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 360p. Format : 15,2 x 22,8 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-56103-8 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : communicative  language  linguitic  meaning. Résumé : From the barbed, childish taunt on the school playground, to the eloquent sophistry of a lawyer prising open a legal loophole in a court of law, meaning arises each time we use language to communicate with one another. How we use language - to convey ideas, make requests, ask a favour, and express anger, love or dismay - is of the utmost importance; indeed, linguistic meaning can be a matter of life and death. In The Crucible of Language, Vyvyan Evans explains what we know, and what we do, when we communicate using language; he shows how linguistic meaning arises, where it comes from, and the way language enables us to convey the meanings that can move us to tears, bore us to death, or make us dizzy with delight. Meaning is, he argues, one of the final frontiers in the mapping of the human mind. The Crucible of Language. : How Language and Mind Create Meaning.
