The volume under review – Space in Languages. Linguistic Systems and Cognitive Categories, edited by Maya Hickmann and Stéphane Robert, the 66th release in the Typological Studies in Language Series, collects a selection of papers delivered at a conference held in Paris at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in February 2003 under the same title. The volume gathers fifteen chapters in a three-part subdivision: “Typology of linguistic systems: Universals, variability, and change” , “The nature and uses of space in language and discourse”, and “Space, language, and cognition”. These theoretical approaches and methodologies weave together in a complementary fashion with the aim of tackling the issue from an interdisciplinary perspective. The outcome is a thought-provoking and enlightening volume which sheds light on Space from different scientific areas such as typological and diachronic linguistics, psycholinguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology.

Abstract

The volume under review – Space in Languages. Linguistic Systems and Cognitive Categories, edited by Maya Hickmann and Stéphane Robert, the 66th release in the Typological Studies in Language Series, collects a selection of papers delivered at a conference held in Paris at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in February 2003 under the same title. The volume gathers fifteen chapters in a three-part subdivision: “Typology of linguistic systems: Universals, variability, and change” , “The nature and uses of space in language and discourse”, and “Space, language, and cognition”. These theoretical approaches and methodologies weave together in a complementary fashion with the aim of tackling the issue from an interdisciplinary perspective. The outcome is a thought-provoking and enlightening volume which sheds light on Space from different scientific areas such as typological and diachronic linguistics, psycholinguistics, philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive and developmental psychology.
