Pictures are a fundamental aspect of how we express ourselves, and cave paintings are among our oldest records of intelligence. Yet, despite their importance, why don't most people feel they can draw, and why are pictures often considered less important than language? For over 20 years, Neil Cohn has pioneered research around these questions within the fields of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience, and this book is the result, heralding a new paradigm of language, drawing, and communicatio

L'ouvrage donne une vue d'ensemble de la recherche actuelle sur les langues créoles à base française. Il propose, d'une part, une présentation comparative de ces créoles et, de l'autre, des descriptions des langues particulières. Parmi les auteurs, on trouve des chercheurs originaires à la fois des territoires créolophones et de l’extérieur du domaine. Des sections du livre sont consacrées aux systèmes grammaticaux, au lexique, aux théories de la créolisation ou à l'histoire extra- et intraling

For instance, we might think of time as an unstoppable train heading towards us when we hear 'holidays are coming', or we might imagine time as a landscape that we move across as we 'approach the moment of truth'. In this pioneering book, Duffy and Feist bring together research from across disciplines to provide a more nuanced understanding of what metaphor is and how it underpins our conceptualizations of time. Illustrated with a
