It delineates a full set of universal concepts, as they have emerged from large-scale investigations across a wide range of languages undertaken by the author and her colleagues. On the basis of empirical cross-linguistic studies it vindicates the old notion of the \"psychic unity of mankind\", while at the same time offering a framework for the rigorous description of different languages and cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46893128417431,"sku":"9780198700036","price":6074.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198700036.webp?v=1770314162","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/semantics-primes-and-universals-9780198700036","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
