About This Item
Bangkok: Heaven Lake Press, 1998. Hardcover. Second Edition / second printing. Very Good+ book in a Very Good+ jacket. Prior owner's name to FFEP. Text unmarked. Spine straight and tight. Jacket clean and bright. Light foxing to top edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 225 pages.
A groundbreaking exploration of Thai culture, the volume was inspired by Moore's realization that the notion of heart, in all its forms, is the central metaphor in the Thai language. The book comes with phonetic and pronunciation guides, and a sign language bonus for selected jai phrases. Explanation for each jai phrase includes illustrative examples. Heart Talk provides an insight into how Thai speakers express their feelings. It opens the door to the private realm of the Thai language: the linguistic heartscape where ideas take shape, feelings are formed, moods floated, and relationships mended when broken.
