Know about the book -
Understanding Cultures Through Their Key Words(English, Paperback, Wierzbicka) is written by Wierzbicka and published by Oxford University Press Inc. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195088360 (ISBN 10) and 9780195088366 (ISBN 13).
Wierzbicka demonstrates that every language has its "key concepts" (expressed in key words) and that these concepts reflect the core values of the culture in question. Examining empirical evidence from five languages, and using her own "natural semantic metalanguage" to provide an analytical framework, she shows that cultures can be revealingly studied, compared, and explained to outsiders through their key concepts.
