Where do nouns come from?
Edited by John B. Haviland
The noun is an apparent cross-linguistic universal; nouns are central targets of language acquisition; they are frequently prototypical exemplars of Saussurian arbitrariness. This volume considers nouns in sign languages and in the evanescent performances of homesigners (and gesturers), which… read more[Benjamins Current Topics, 70] 2015. v, 140 pp.

Edited by Ad Foolen, Ulrike M. Lüdtke, Timothy P. Racine and Jordan Zlatev
The close relationship between motion (bodily movement) and emotion (feelings) is not an etymological coincidence.
