In spite of the rich literature produced so far, the topic has still to offer many suggestions for developing new lines of research, thanks not only to the most recent advances in cognitive neuroscience, but also to new data coming from more traditional synchronic and diachronic linguistic studies. The lively state of the art in this field is nicely represented by the present volume, which aims at summing up the current status of studies on the representation of spatial categories with a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the cognitive aspects of spatial categories to their typological correlates in the languages of the world, from the lexicon of space to grammaticalisation processes, from neuro-cognitive evidence about the representation of spatial categories to L2 acquisition. Besides to the contributions of many young scholars working in the field of spatial categories in human languages, the book includes the papers of some of the most widely recognized experts in the study of space and its relation with cognition and language Table of Contents Introduction Part I - Space in Brain Part II - Space in Time Part III - Space in World Languages Part IV - Space in Second Languages Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science                             General Linguistics                             Language Acquisition                             Neurolinguistics                             Psycholinguistics                             Typology Written In: English (eng ) See this book announcement on our website: http://linguistlist.org/pubs/books/get-book.cfm?BookID=55947 Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue -------------------------- Major Supporters -------------------------- Brill http://www.brill.nl Cambridge Scholars Publishing http://www.c-s-p.org Cambridge University Press http://us.cambridge.org Cascadilla Press http://www.cascadilla.com/ Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd http://www.continuumbooks.com De Gruyter Mouton http://www.degruyter.com/mouton Edinburgh University Press http://www.eup.ed.ac.uk/ Elsevier Ltd http://www.elsevier.com/linguistics Emerald Group Publishing Limited http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ Equinox Publishing Ltd http://www.equinoxpub.com/ European Language Resources Association - ELRA http://www.elra.info.
