Language, culture, and mind

natural constructions and social kinds

by

"Based on fieldwork carried out in a Mayan village in Guatemala, this book examines local understanding 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. 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."--Jacket.
