The Nile on eBay Embodied Conceptualization or Neural Realization by Qingqing Zhao The intended readership includes, but is not limited to, graduate students in linguistics and researchers interested in Chinese linguistics in particular, and in lexical semantics and cognitive linguistics in general. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book focuses on linguistic synaesthesia in a hitherto less-studied language – Mandarin Chinese – and adopts a corpus-driven approach to support the analysis and argumentation. The study identifies directional tendencies and underlying mechanisms for Mandarin synaesthetic adjectives. By doing so, it not only provides an added layer of understanding for theories of linguistic synaesthesia, but also offers evidence to help refine previous theories, such as Embodiment Theory and Conceptual Metaphor Theory. In brief, the book makes a significant contribution to the development of Cognitive Linguistics.

Shipping is really slow, which is ok if you're happy to wait a month after the advertised estimated arrival date, which I usually am. Communication from seller is poor, the only updates are from Ebay (once the item is finally shipped). Other than that, items arrive well packaged, undamaged and as per the description. 5 stars for product, quality and value but only given 1 star for shipping time and seller communication.
The Nile Store delivers the goods yet again! And, as usual, well ahead of time. Excellent, helpful and frequent communications/updates from the seller. Brand new book arrived in mint condition (my uppermost requirement with a book, unless it's second hand), and very carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit. Top quality and very well priced. An excellent, ultra-efficient seller. Once again, many thanks.
I got this item in LN condition although it was listed as BN (and sealed). However the response from the staff has been outstanding. Communication worth the highest allocations. They have been very understanding and issued me a full refund, although I have asked to pay me back only cost of the postage. I wish there were more people like them on Ebay. I will continue to purchase items from them. A+++ seller
