It focuses on a variety of grammatical structures and discursive practices through which mental states are encoded and social relations are expressed: inalienable possessions, such as body parts and kinship terms; interjections, such as 'ouch' and 'yuck'; complement-taking predicates, such as 'believe' and 'desire'; and grammatical categories such as mood, status and evidentiality. And, more generally, it develops a theoretical framework through which both community-specific and human-general features of mind may be contrasted and compared. It will be of interest to researchers and students working within the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, psychology, and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940642423072,"sku":"NEW0521516390","price":124.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/language-culture-and-mind-natural-constructions-and-social-kinds-language-culture-and-cognition-series-number-10-0521516390","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
