{"product_id":"language-culture-and-mind-paul-kockelman-9781107689022","title":"Language, Culture, and Mind: Natural Constructions and Social Kinds","description":"Based on fieldwork carried out in a Mayan village in Guatemala, this book examines local understandings of mind through the lens of language and culture. It focuses on a variety of grammatical structures and discursive practices through which mental states are encoded and social relations are expressed: inalienable possessions, such as body parts and kinship terms; interjections, such as 'ouch' and 'yuck'; complement-taking predicates, such as 'believe' and 'desire'; and grammatical categories such as mood, status and evidentiality. And, more generally, it develops a theoretical framework through which both community-specific and human-general features of mind may be contrasted and compared. It will be of interest to researchers and students working within the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Kockelman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107689023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107689022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Paul Kockelman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120820777215,"sku":"9781107689022","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a33aa4bc-705c-4220-979a-fee693babef1.jpg?v=1687416462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-culture-and-mind-paul-kockelman-9781107689022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
