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 requiring a precise specification of the motion.
Interpreting Motion is the first book to analyze the semantics of
motion expressions in terms of the formalisms of qualitative
spatial reasoning. It shows how motion descriptions in language are
mapped to trajectories of moving entities based on qualitative
spatio-temporal relationships. The authors provide an extensive
discussion of prior research on spatial prepositions and motion
verbs, devoting chapters to the compositional semantics of motion
sentences, the formal representations needed for computers to
reason qualitatively about time, space, and motion, and the
methodology for annotating corpora with linguistic information in
order to train computer programs to reproduce the annotation. The
applications they illustrate include route navigation, the mapping
of travel narratives, question-answering, image and video tagging,
and graphical rendering of scenes from textual descriptions. The
book is written accessibly for a broad scientific audience of
linguists, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, and those
working in fields such as artificial intelligence and geographic
information systems.
