  • Pragmatics and Non-Verbal Communication

    by Tim Wharton ...
    The way we say the words we say helps us convey our intended meanings. Indeed, the tone of voice we use, the facial expressions and bodily gestures we adopt while we are talking, often add entirely new layers of meaning to those words.

  • Aesthetics on the Edge

    Where Philosophy Meets the Human Sciences

    by Dominic McIver Lopes ...

  • The Bilingual Mind

    And What it Tells Us about Language and Thought

    by Aneta Pavlenko ...
    If languages influence the way we think, do bilinguals think differently in their respective languages? And if languages do not affect thought, why do bilinguals often perceive such influence? For many years these questions remained unanswered because the research on language and thought had focused solely on the monolingual mind. Bilinguals were either excluded from this research as 'unusual' or ... Read more
