Language and Social Minds - The Semantics and Pragmatics of Intersubjectivity

Informationen zum Autor Vittorio Tantucci is Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University. His research combines diachronic and ontogenetic naturalistic data to shed light on the human ability to express social cognition at different levels of linguistic complexity. Zusammenfassung Combining ideas from cognitive semantics and pragmatics, this book shows how social cognition is expressed linguistically at differing levels of complexity. The model, which brings together theory of mind and intersubjectivity, will enrich the work of researchers in cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, applied linguistics and cognitive psychology.
