National Conceptualisations of the Body Politic Cultural Experience and Political Imagination

Cultural Linguistics Series Editor Farzad Sharifian, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia

It champions research that advances our understanding of how features of human languages encode culturally constructed conceptualisations of experience. Edited by world-renowned linguist Professor Farzad Sharifian, Cultural Linguistics publishes monographs and edited volumes from diverse but complementary disciplines as wide-ranging as cross-cultural pragmatics, anthropological linguistics and cognitive psychology to present new perspectives on the intersection between culture, cognition and language. Featured themes include: • • • • • • •
