Over the last few years there has been a burgeoning interest in
both space and place as linguistic phenomena. Some of this interest
stemmed from studies on the situatedness of language and speech in
time and space and how deixis anchors speech to a context. Both our
frame of reference with respect to surrounding space and how we
conceive and describe it are closely linked to the language we
speak. This is why different cultures perceive spatial relations
differently, with speakers of one language, for instance, encoding
spatial relations with respect to absolute directions while
speakers of a different language use egocentric terms. This book
focuses on space, place and the discursive construction of identity
in the present, globalized era, where technological developments
are causing a change in the perception of spatial boundaries and
geographical locations, and identities are experienced in hitherto
unknown ways.
