Words as Carriers of Cultural Meaning -- "There is no sex in the Soviet Union": from sex to seks -- When value words cross cultural borders: English tolerance vs. Russian tolerantnost' -- The 'Aussie' bogan: towards a lexical semantic analysis -- Exploring the non-religious meanings of heaven and hell in English, Arabic, and Hebrew -- 'Brother' and 'sister' in Ghanaian English -- Cultural keywords in Buenos Aires: the semantics of viveza criolla, vivo, and boludo in Porteño Spanish -- 'Being actively engaged' in Japan: the cultural semantics of katsu (活) compound words -- Bwenaado: An ethnolexicological study of a culturally salient word in Cemuhi (New Caledonia) -- The semantics and pragmatics of three potential slurring terms -- How to be nice with words: positive appraisal in online news comments -- "Swear Words" and "Nice Words" -- The semantics of Akan insults in online interactions on GhanaWeb -- Words for things unseen: semantic resilience and change in NSW coastal languages.

This book is the second in a three-volume set that celebrates the career and achievements of Cliff Goddard, a pioneer of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach in linguistics. It focuses on meaning and culture, with sections on "Words as Carriers of Cultural Meaning" and "Understanding Discourse in Cultural Context". Often considered the most fully developed, comprehensive and practical approach to cross-linguistic and cross-cultural semantics, Natural Semantic Metalanguage is based on evidence that there is a small core of basic, universal meanings (semantic primes) that can be expressed in all languages. It has been used for linguistic and cultural analysis in such diverse fields as semantics, cross-cultural communication, language teaching, humour studies and applied linguistics, and has reached far beyond the boundaries of linguistics into ethnopsychology, anthropology, history, political science, the medical humanities and ethics.
