  • Critical Cultural Awareness: Managing Stereotypes Through Intercultural (Language) Education Managing Stereotypes Through Intercultural (Language) Education

    • Authors: Stephanie Ann Houghton (2013)

  • In a rapidly globalizing world, one of the most challenging barriers to be overcome is the stereotype. This book aims to promote understanding of the nature of stereotypes and to suggest ways in which teachers can manage them by developing critical cultural awareness as an intrinsic part of the intercultural communicative competence of their students. Part I explores ways of defining, eliciting and illustrating stereotypes from theoretical standpoints. Part II showcases ways of addressing stereotypes through intercultural (language) education to provide teachers with a firm platform for the practical application of their knowledge and skills when attempting to manage stereotypes in the classroom

  • Ten lectures on language, culture and mind : cultural, developmental and evolutionary perspectives in cognitive linguistics

    • Authors: Chris Sinha (2017)

  • In this interdisciplinary collection of lectures, Chris Sinha presents an overview of topics ranging from language in children's play, through cultural conceptualizations of time, to philosophical and linguistic relativism. The intertwining of the evolutionary and individual time scales of human development is a key theme unifying the lectures, as is the fundamentally cultural nature of language and cognition. Familiar topics in cognitive linguistics, such as spatial semantics and conceptual blending, are addressed from these cultural, comparative and developmental perspectives. Chris Sinha also discusses the psychological roots of key concepts in cognitive linguistics, and sets out a biocultural approach to language evolution.
