Spatial Semiotics and Spatial Mental Models: Figure-Ground Asymmetries in Language

By Martin Thiering

This book presents novel data from endangered languages and cultures that are ever so often still not focused on. It combines different disciplines to capture the intricacies of spatial orientation and navigation. Also, the interplay between culture through language and practices presents new insights in the importance of combining cognitive semantics with cognitive anthropology.
