The fifteen original contributions in Language and Space bring
together the major lines of research and the most important
theoretical viewpoints in the areas of psychology, linguistics,
anthropology, and neuroscience, providing a much needed synthesis
across these diverse domains. The study of the relationship between
natural language and spatial cognition has the potential to yield
answers to vexing questions about the nature of the mind, language,
and culture. The fifteen original contributions in Language and
Space bring together the major lines of research and the most
important theoretical viewpoints in the areas of psychology,
linguistics, anthropology, and neuroscience, providing a much
needed synthesis across these diverse domains. Each chapter gives a
clear up-to-date account of a particular research program. Overall,
they address such questions as: how does the brain represent space,
how many kinds of spatial representations are there, how do we
learn to talk about space and what role does culture play in these
matters, should experimental tests of the relations between space
and language be restricted to closed-class linguistic elements or
must the role of open-class elements be considered as well?
Throughout authors speak to each other's arguments, laying bare key
areas of agreement and disagreement. Contributors Manfred
