Download or read book Cognitive Linguistics and Non-Indo-European Languages written by Eugene H. Casad and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2003 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies the theory of cognitive linguistics to the analysis of a variety of grammatical phenomena in non-Indo-European languages. In previous studies of languages from non-Indo-European families, cognitive linguistics has been remarkably useful in explaining non-prototypical structures as well as more common ones. The book expands that effort into a new set of families and languages.
