About this book
PAPERBACK PUBLISHED JANUARY 2012
The book provides an introduction into a highly developed, coherent, and extensively tested cognitive linguistic approach to lexical semantics, which is not currently accessible to readers of English. This makes the book important to researchers and students in lexical semantics, in Cognitive Linguistics and beyond. It also strengthens the Cognitive Linguistics enterprise in general, by showing that the main tenets of this approach are not an incidental historical development in a particular corner of the world, but rather are arrived at by scholars working in hugely different contexts independently of each other. The book therefore has an appeal to all researchers in Cognitive Linguistics. Furthermore, the book constitutes a contribution to the intellectual exchange between international academic discourses that mostly develop independently of each other – an exchange that has often provided major impetus for scientific development, as illustrated by the influence of the belated translations of works by Bakhtin, Lotman, Vygotsky, and Luria, among others.

Reviews
'This book is a valuable resource for researchers and students in lexical semantics, discourse and intercultural communication. In this book, the English-language audience interested in cognitive linguistic approaches and semantics in general will find valuable information regarding Slavic data and the development of Slavic semantic thought. The case studies presented in the book can certainly serve as a great inspiration for future cross-cultural semantic analyses.'

'The book presents a condensed but very detailed and highly informative description of the main tenets at the core of cognitive ethnolinguistics. It] is a much welcome contribution to (English-reading) academia, and it will be of particular interest for scholars working in the diverse fields of cognitive linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics and intercultural semantics/communication.'

'After reading Bartminski's book, it will be difficult to go along the traditional, trodden paths, as if nothing would have happened. Let us then change our way of doing linguistics or, better, let us get back the good old traditions in their new form. And let us thank the translator, the editor and the publisher for making this excellent collection accessible to all cognitive linguists.'
