Cultural Semantics and Social Cognition is written by Carsten Levisen and published by Walter de Gruyter. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3110294664 (ISBN 10) and 9783110294668 (ISBN 13).
Words do not emerge in a cultural vacuum. They are revealing of speakers' values, cognitive preferences and social practices. With an engaging study of Danish cultural keywords, this book offers a new framework for understanding language-particular universes of meaning and lays the ground for comparative research into the diversity of semantic and cultural systems in contemporary Europe. The book is of compelling interest to anyone interested in language and cultural values, as well as for students and scholars in Scandinavian and European studies.
