Abstract:

As a follow-up study to the global comparison of spatial interrogatives
(Studia Typologica 20), the present book examines the spatial declarative
counterparts which are provided by the expression class of spatial deictic
adverbs. In a functionally motivated typological approach, equivalents of
Early Modern English here – hither – hence and there – thither – thence are
identified across a sample of 250 languages from all macro-areas. These are
also quantitatively assessed to extrapolate areal and global trends of coding
patterns. The formal relationships between spatial interrogative and spatial
declarative paradigms are analyzed with a focus on the syncretism of
categories and of individual cells. Qualitative discussions of patterns
precede in-depth treatments of problematic cases and other relevant issues
related to the research topic.

The quantitative results strongly point to areal linguistic trends concerning
the distribution of distinct and non-distinct coding of the three spatial
relations Place, Goal, and Source. Additional aspects such as quantitative
evaluations of constructional complexity are addressed subsequently.
