Abstract: Space is presently the focus of much research and debate
across disciplines, including linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and
philosophy. One strong feature of this collection is to bring together
theoretical and empirical contributions from these varied scientific
traditions, with the collective aim of addressing fundamental questions
at the forefront of the current literature: the nature of space in
language, the linguistic relativity of space, the relation between
spatial language and cognition. Linguistic analyses highlight the
multidimensional and heterogeneous nature of space, while also showing
the existence of a set of types, parameters, and principles organizing
the considerable diversity of linguistic systems and accounting for
mechanisms of diachronic change. Findings concerning spatial perception
and cognition suggest the existence of two distinct systems governing
linguistic and non-linguistic representations, that only partially
overlap in some pathologies, but they also show the strong impact of
language-specific factors on the course of language acquisition and
cognitive development. <br>
