Abstract:

Landscape is fundamental to human experience. Yet until recently, the study of 
landscape has been fragmented among the disciplines. This volume focuses on 
how landscape is represented in language and thought, and what this reveals 
about the relationships of people to place and to land. Scientists of various 
disciplines such as anthropologists, geographers, information scientists, 
linguists, and philosophers address several questions, including: Are there 
cross-cultural and cross-linguistic variations in the delimitation, classification, 
and naming of geographic features? Can alternative world-views and 
conceptualizations of landscape be used to produce culturally-appropriate 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)? Topics included: ontology of 
landscape; landscape terms and concepts; toponyms; spiritual aspects of land 
and landscape terms; research methods; ethical dimensions of the research; 
and its potential value to indigenous communities involved in this type of 
research.
