Abstract:
The 'language and space' area is a relatively new research area in cognitive
science. Studying how language and spatial representation are linked in the
human brain mainly draws on research in existing disciplines focusing on
language, perception, categorization and development. Representative researchers
from these sub-disciplines of cognitive science discuss new insights in their
own field of expertise and show what role their definition of 'function',
'feature', or 'functional feature' plays in their research. New research
centered around these concepts is on the forefront of developments in these
sub-disciplines and in the area of 'Language and Space'.
