Cognitive Semantics Against Creole Exceptionalism: A Case Study of Body Part Expressions in Nigerian Pidgin by Kosecki Krzysztof

“…It is argued that the expressions not only involve embodied universal patterns of imaginative reasoning, but also blend the substratum patterns of West African languages with the superstratum influence of colonial lexifiers, especially English. Thanks to this, NP speakers can deal with diverse aspects of experience, such as emotions, mental life, social interaction, or business transactions, which is strong evidence for the complex conceptual structure and the richly expressive character of the NP lexicon.…”

Revendiquer le patrimoine archéologique par le rituel : la cérémonie pan-maya du fuego sagrado dans le Petén et le Quintana Roo by Mathieu Picas
