Book: The Body in Russian and Chinese – A Linguistic Study
This monograph offers a comprehensive analysis of how the human body is described and evaluated in Russian, compared to Chinese. It focuses on the lexical subset “general body terms” and examines the use of attributive constructions where an evaluative adjective combines with a body part name.
The study is set within the current anthropocentric linguistic paradigm. It explores how body terms are used in combination with adjectives to express evaluation, and traces how these attributive evaluative phrases function across different spheres of language activity. The book’s relevance lies in its typological comparison of the “general body terms” lexical subset between Russian and Chinese.
The author investigates the mechanisms behind these adjective-noun combinations, shedding light on how different languages encode bodily evaluation. This work is a valuable resource for linguists, typologists, and anyone interested in cross-linguistic semantics and the cultural conceptualization of the body.
