Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The claim that crosslinguistic disparities foster differences in nonlinguistic thought, often referred to as 'linguistic relativity', has for some time been the subject of intense debate. For much of that time the debate was not informed by much experimental work. Recently, however, there has been an explosion of research on linguistic relativity, carried out by numerous scholars interested in the interaction between language and nonlinguistic cognition. This book surveys the rapidly accruing research on this topic, much of it carried out in the last decade. Structured so as to be accessible to students and scholars in linguistics, psychology, and anthropology, it first introduces crucial concepts in the study of language and cognition. It then explores the relevant experimentally oriented research, focusing independently on the evidence for relativistic effects in spatial orientation, temporal perception, number recognition, color discrimination, object/substance categorization, gender construal, as well as other facets of cognition. This is the only book to extensively survey the recent work on linguistic relativity, and should serve as a critical resource for those concerned with the topic.Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Strasse 13, 10785 Berlin 308 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Number concepts are a human invention developed and refined over millennia. They allow us to grasp quantities precisely: recent research shows that most specific quantities are not perceived in the absence of a number system. Numbers are not innate or universal; yet without them, the world as we know it would not exist.

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Los números han formado la mayoría de las culturas. Transformaron los patrones humanos de subsistencia, dieron una posibilidad de expansión y de dominio sobre nuestro entorno a la vez que permitieron el impulso de otras técnicas como la agricultura, la astronomía y posteriormente la arquitectura (babilonios, sumerios, egipcios. . . ), esenciales del saber humano e inconcebibles sin la especulación numérica. Por todo ello, Everett defiende que los números han cambiado directa o indirectamente las culturas y el saber humano, tanto en su vertiente social como espiritual. Así como los ojos nos permiten diferenciar la luz y movernos por el mundo físico que nos rodea, los números nos ayudan a posicionarnos en él, a diferenciar sus cantidades y concebir nuevas conceptualizaciones para comprenderlo, abarcarlo. Esta obra se presenta como un estudio híbrido de antropología, lingüística y psicología de los números y su importancia. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
