Content:
This book brings together three perspectives on language and space that so far are lacking productive interconnections:a) Language, space, and geography; b) Grammar, space, and cognition; c) Language and interactional spaces. The contributions in this book showcase the thematic and methodological breadth of research on language and space; they are accompanied by commentaries that highlight common threads.
