This book provides an interdisciplinary unified view of sensual cognition and its cultural
manifestations. The contributors favour an ecological perspective and revisit and problematize
some of the core assumptions in Cognitive Linguistics. One of the original tenets of CL states
that human thinking is grounded in experiential gestalts as well as in interaction between
peoples' embodied minds and their various environments or cultures. In addition to looking in
detail at this tenet the volume provides major insights into the methodological and
theoretical dimensions of Cognitive Linguistics research and describes applications of the
paradigm in diverse contexts and cultures.
