Abstract:
This book considers how language users express and understand literal and
metaphorical spatial meaning not only in language but also through gesture and
pointing. Researchers explore the ways in which theoretical developments in
language and cognition, new empirical techniques, and new computational
facilities have led to a greater understanding of the relationship between
physical space and mental space as expressed in human communication.
