Abstract:
			
Oceania has traditionally been the 'place' in which great debates
about the human condition have been started, conducted, and sometimes
resolved. The articles in this volume prove once more the vitality of
the research conducted in this geographically vast and culturally
varied area of the world. This book contributes to the investigation
of space as a knowledge domain, in particular to the linguistic,
mental and cultural representations of spatial relationships in
Oceania. It emphasises the significance and usefulness of
cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research, and cultural area
surveys. This volume is of interest not only to cultural and
linguistic anthropologists, but also to linguists and cognitive
psychologists, and to scholars and students of Oceania.
