{"product_id":"9783110459784","title":"Constructions in Cognitive Contexts: Why Individuals Matter in Linguistic Relativity Research","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn what ways are language, cognition and perception interrelated? Do they influence each other? This book casts a fresh light on these questions by putting individual speakers’ cognitive contexts, i.e. their usage-preferences and entrenched patterns of linguistic knowledge, into the focus of investigation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt presents findings from original experimental research on spatial language use which indicate that these individual-specific factors indeed play a central role in determining whether or not differences in the current and\/or habitual linguistic behaviour of speakers of German and English are systematically correlated with differences in non-linguistic behaviour (visual attention allocation to and memory for spatial referent scenes).These findings form the basis of a new, speaker-focused usage-based model of linguistic relativity, which defines language-perception\/cognition effects as a phenomenon which primarily occurs within individual speakers rather than between speakers or speech communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020310266096,"sku":"9783110459784","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110459784_p0.jpg?v=1763717809","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110459784","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
