The Construal of Spatial Meaning Zusammenfassung

The Construal of Spatial Meaning: Windows into Conceptual Space Carita Paradis (Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University)

This book considers how language users express and understand literal and metaphorical spatial meaning not only in language but also through gesture and pointing. Researchers explore the ways in which theoretical developments in language and cognition, new empirical techniques, and new computational facilities have led to a greater understanding of the relationship between physical space and mental space as expressed in human communication.
