The human nervous system evolved for the control of complex physical actions. Yet, we are far from understanding the human capacity for complex abstract thought. One theory suggests that both abstract and concrete thinking is based on a single perceptual mechanism grounded in physical experience. Asking the question posed by psychologist Daniel Casasanto whether "abstract concepts are like dinosaur feathers" we investigate the evolutionary processes that allowed humans to deal with abstract phenomena by putting them in concrete terms. After all, we frequently resort to analogies, similes or metaphors when describing the intangible. We may say "put that into words" as if words were containers...

No single phonological paradigm has been followed, and this diversity of theoretical approaches, from natural phonology to non-linear phonology, reflects recent developments in Europe and the U.S.

Kogo tak właściwie drażnią i dlaczego obrosły tyloma mitami? Martyna F. Zachorska, językoznawczyni znana jako Pani od Feminatywów, pokazuje, jak język – zwyczaje językowe, przysłowia czy potoczne zwroty – buduje obraz naszego świata, w tym nasze postrzeganie kobiet, płci czy ciała. Pisze też o tym, jak polszczyzna radzi sobie z opisywaniem seksualności, zwłaszcza kobiecej, czy niebinarności. A co więcej, autorka nie boi się zajrzeć w najciemniejsze zakamarki internetu, czyli do ...
