  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.
