This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of spatial
configurations of language use and of language use in space. It
consists of four parts. The first part covers the various practices
of describing space through language, including spatial references
in spoken interaction or in written texts, the description of
motion events as well as the creation of imaginative spaces in
storytelling. The second part surveys aspects of the spatial
organization of face-to-face communication including not only
spatial arrangements of small groups in interaction but also the
spatial dimension of sign language and gestures. The third part is
devoted to the communicative resources of constructed spaces and
the ways in which these facilitate and shape communication. Part
four, finally, is devoted to pragmatics across space and cultures,
i.e. the ways in which language use differs across language
varieties, languages and cultures.
