{"product_id":"language-feeling-and-the-brain-daniel-shanahan-9781138511507","title":"Language, Feeling, and the Brain: The Evocative Vector","description":"\u003cp\u003eLinguistic theory since the Cognitive Revolution has fol- lowed one of the premises of that revolution by largely sidelining the issue of emotions and concentrating on those aspects of language that are more strictly cognitive. However, during the last ten years research in cognitive science, especially in neuropsychology, has begun to fill in the gaps left by the exclusion of emotions from cognitive research. The work of those like Oatley, Zajonc, Damasio, and LeDoux, to name a few, has demonstrated both that it is possible to construct models of how emotions play into the workings of the psyche and that they are necessary in giving us a balanced view of the human mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLanguage, Feeling, and the Brain\u003c\/em\u003e attempts to apply the fruits of this new research in emotion to our understanding of language itself. Building on Karl Pribram's integrated model of emotions and motivations, the book takes an eclectic approach to explaining how emotions contribute to the nature of language, drawing on research done in neuropsychology, philosophy, cognitive linguistics, anthropology, and related fields. Its aim is to construct a propositional model for how the emotions may have contributed to the emergence of symbolic formation, most especially in the forms of gesture and speech, and how identifying that emotional influence sheds new light on everything we have had to say about language itself, from lexis and grammar to culture and literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Shanahan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138511501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138511507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Daniel Shanahan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113278255359,"sku":"9781138511507","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_185fa989-0a58-49b5-bcd2-f7fc247fcbb5.jpg?v=1769614045","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-feeling-and-the-brain-daniel-shanahan-9781138511507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
