Beschreibung

Sensual Expression delves into the intricate relationship between language and sensuality in literature, examining how words shape our understanding and experience of desire and intimacy. It fills a gap in literary criticism by specifically focusing on the linguistic mechanisms authors use to evoke sensation, rather than just analyzing themes of love and sexuality. The book uniquely argues that language isn't just a tool for describing sensation but an active force in shaping our perception of it.

 
The study progresses by first laying a historical foundation, tracing the roots of sensual expression from classical texts to modern literature. It then pivots to examining contemporary trends in poetry, novels, and short stories, identifying innovative uses of sensual language. By analyzing specific linguistic techniques like metaphor and imagery, the author uncovers how language reinforces or challenges cultural norms surrounding sensuality.

 
Ultimately, this collection of essays provides a fresh perspective on literary criticism, cultural contexts, and gender studies. It makes it clear how crucial it is to understand the power of sensual language, as it influences not only literature but also our broader understanding of human sexuality, cultural attitudes, and the art of writing.

Psycholinguistics - A Very Short...

Fernanda Ferreira

This Very Short Introduction to psycholinguistics is an accessible and engaging description of how people use language. Talking and understanding language probably seem like simple and straightforward skills, but research in psycholinguistics has shown that complex computations take place behind the scenes when you communicate with others. Recent debates concerning how AI tools such as ChatGPT work highlight some of these core questions about the language faculty and how it is that humans comprehend, produce, and learn language. 
 
 
 
The book begins with an overview of the fields of linguistics and psychology and how they have cooperated from the earliest days of psycholinguistics. Issues that are considered include: (1) How successfully do people adapt what they say to the needs of their audience when they design their phrases and sentences? (2) How do people read languages such as Chinese, which do not use an alphabetic writing system? (3) Do the size and efficiency of a person's memory affect how effectively people use language? (4) Is bilingualism cognitively advantageous, and if so, what are the mechanisms that lead to this so-called bilingual advantage? And (5) Do users of sign language gesture when they communicate? These questions and more are answered using insights from the latest research based on methods from the cognitive and neurosciences.
