Spatial language - that is, the way in which languages structure the spatial domain - is an important area of current research, offering new insights into one of the most central areas of human cognition. In this pioneering collection, a team of leading linguists and psychologis…

Spatial language, that is, the way languages structure the spatial domain, is an important area of current research. In this collection, leading scholars review the spatial domain across a wide variety of languages. They show that there is great variation in the way space is str…
In this pioneering collection, a team of leading linguists and psychologists look at how the spatial domain is structured in language. Drawing on data from a wide range of languages, they uncover considerable cross-linguistic variation across this central domain, adding to debat…
