Studies cognitive classical semantics (2 Ergebnisse)

The eight papers that comprise this volume address questions relative to classical languages from the perspective of cognitive semantics and have all been inspired by the application of embodiment theory, conceptual metaphor theory and cognitive narratology to ancient texts.
