Information conveyed by language must be about the projected world. Both the experimental results and the systematic claims in this volume call for a weak form of whorfianism. Also, chapters add some relatively unexplored issues of bilingualism to the well-known ones, such as gender systems in the bilingual mind, context and task, synergic concepts, blending, the relationship between lexical categorization and ontological categorization among others UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-5935-3 ER -
