<p>In this interdisciplinary collection of
lectures, Chris Sinha presents an overview of topics ranging from language in
children’s play, through cultural conceptualizations of time, to philosophical
and linguistic relativism. The intertwining of the evolutionary and individual
time scales of human development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is
the fundamentally cultural nature of language and cognition. </p>
<p>Familiar topics in cognitive
linguistics, such as spatial semantics and conceptual blending, are addressed
from these cultural, comparative and developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological
roots of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural
approach to language evolution.</p>
