Abstract:

This book considers how it is possible for people to use directions
like 'above the table' or 'over the city'. How does our brain or any
other information processing system represent a direction as a spatial
entity? And, how is it possible to link such a representation to
language, so that we talk about a direction we have in mind? When we
look at or imagine a scene, what entities can be employed for
representing a direction, and what are the parts in language that can
be used to talk about directions? This book brings together research
from linguistics, psychology, philosophy, computer science,
anthropology, and neuroscience to answer these intriguing
questions. By considering direction representation across different
languages and in different information processing systems, this book
gives an overview of the main issues in this area for both the
interested novice and the specialized researcher.
