Annotation
This wide-ranging volume of especially (psycho)linguistic papers, relying mostly on data from sentences, and to a lesser extent on data from discourse or experiments and quantitative data, presents the following themes:space in language; space as a cultural artifact; space as a bridge to other conceptual domains and space as an organizing principle of thought.
