Their particular interest results from the fact that they encode a wealth of information on the plants and their perception by the people, as well as on the psychological processes and the linguistic strategies that were used in the naming processes. Their analysis requires the interplay of various disciplines – morphology and word-formation, structural and cognitive semantics, and contact linguistics. As plant names enjoy a special status as natural kind terms, this study also touches upon questions of scientific and folk taxonomic structures, of botany, and of socio-cultural history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Weight: 750gAuthor: Ulrike KrischkeGenre: HistoryBook Series: Muenchener UniversitaetsschriftenTopic: Society & Culture, Language & Reference, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
