LANGUAGE OF THE HAND IN THE INDO-EUROPEAN IDIOMS

Summary/Abstract: The research starts from the assertion that there is an interdependent rapport between cultural forms and the experiential field, necessary for the dynamics of cultural development. The general objective of our approach is the development of a system of relations, ordered by human experience for linguistic vitality (of a language/group of [kinred] languages) in the mental and cultural fields. Particular/experiential takes on the concepts of `right` /`left`, the systemic extension of significances in linguistics, religion, moral mentality, culture of peoples of the world stand as secondary objectives of the research. Application is made to Panlatin languages and English. Synchronic and diachronic analysis, contrastive method, and cognitivist approach are but a few of the research methods. The first of the conclusions to be drawn is that the diachronic dynamics of a culture is ensured by the systemic relations between human experience, language, mentality and others.
