This text shows how language structures constrain concepts of motion, analysing the semantics of motion expressions in a range contexts from route navigation to textual description. It is written for a broad audience including linguists, cognitive and computer scientists, and th…

Interpreting Motion presents an integrated perspective on how language structures constrain concepts of motion and how the world shapes the way motion is linguistically expressed. Natural language allows for efficient communication of elaborate descriptions of movement without r…
This text brings together researchers in linguistics, computer science, psychology and cognitive science to investigate how motion is encoded in language. Part I considers the parameters of the field, while Part II looks at the way in which spatial scale or granularity plays a r…

This book brings together researchers in linguistics, computer science, psychology and cognitive science to investigate how motion is encoded in language. The book is divided into two parts. Part I considers the parameters at play in motion encoding (including directed motion) b…
