Goes beyond the usual compartmentalized linguistic research and focuses on the phenomena of cultural conceptualizations in translation and in various applications of language, including foreign language teaching – Cultural Linguistics is a new approach to language studies Discusses social and cognitive phenomena in different contexts such as foreign language teaching, cultural models, and sign language, illustrating them with rich empirical findings Shows the interdisciplinary character that sheds new light on the phenomena of language and culture in terms of cultural conceptualization phenomena
