This volume presents new research by the Topoi group "The
Conception of Spaces in Language" on the expression of spatial
relations in ancient languages. The six articles in this volume
discuss static and dynamic aspects of the spatial grammars of
Ancient to Medieval Greek, Akkadian, Hittite, and Hieroglyphic
Ancient Egyptian, as well as field data on eight modern languages
(Arabic, Hebrew, English, German, Russian, French, Italian, and
Spanish). Among the grams discussed are spatial particles, motion
verbs, case and, most prominently, spatial prepositions. All
ancient language data are fully explained in linguistic
word-by-word glosses and are therefore accessible to scholars who
are not themselves experts on the respective languages. Taken
together, these contributions extend the scope of research on
spatial grammar back to the third millennium BCE.
