内容簡介：Language is considered the highway into the mind, that is, most of our mental processing and knowledge is necessarily conveyed by means of linguistic forms. In search of the cultural aspects of mind it is then highly useful to analyze linguistic production to arrive at the mental background that generated it. I am presenting in this talk a few strategies employed to elicit linguistic data and the way they can be analyzed to discover some cultural aspects of mental life.
