Sentient Forests as Nature, as Myth or as a More Real Shamanic Nature
Despite the diversity of debates about the ontological turn, the inward perceptual empiricism that constitutes the main source of non-Western epistemologies – both oral and written – has not yet been fully considered. The helpful case here will be that of the ‘sentient forest’, which has emerged as a guiding belief in Western countries, with forests and plants increasingly being regarded as sentient, conscious, intelligent, and/or communicative, …
The European Bear’s Son Tale
The primary purpose of this article is to explore the way that the Bear’s Son tale, a wide-spread European folktale, came to be incorporated into the oral storytelling traditions of Native Americans. The work is divided into three parts. In the first section the reasons that led me to begin to investigate the European tale are discussed. The second part is dedicated to a discussion of the European tale itself, its plotline and geographical diffus…
A Newly Discovered Ethnocultural Substrate along the Atlantic Façade—Evidence for the Unique Counting System and Mathematical Strategies Shared by the Basque Country (Euskal Herria), Spain, France, Ir…
Until now, the pre-decimal metric units of linear measure employed traditionally in the Basque Country have not been compared to similar ones documented for Celtic-speaking zones of the Atlantic façade. These base units are distinctive in that they are septenary in nature, consisting of units of seven and its multiples. In this study, the remarkable similarities that characterize these traditional linear measures are analyzed and subjected to scr…

Embodiment
The language-organism-species analogy
Sociocultural Situatedness
The contributions contained in the second volume of the two-volume set Body, Language and Mind introduce and elaborate upon the concept of sociocultural situatedness, understood broadly as the way in which minds and cognitive processes are shaped, both individually and collectively, by their interaction with socioculturally contextualized structures and practices; and, furthermore, how these structures interact, contextually, with language and ca…
Language and Ideology
Together with its sister volume on Theoretical Cognitive Approaches, this volume explores the contribution which cognitive linguistics can make to the identification and analysis of overt and hidden ideologies. This volume shows that descriptive tools which cognitive linguistics developed for the analysis of language-in-use are highly efficient for the analysis of ideologies as well. Amongst them are the concept of grounding and the speaker’s dei…
