Abstract:

Space is a fundamental dimension of human life and is pervasive in human
experience. Research on space has highlighted the possible asymmetrical nature
of spatial relations. Differences in the encoding of goals and sources of
motion are a case in point, and cross-linguistic coding tendencies show that
path is less frequently flagged by a dedicated case than goal, source/origin,
and (static) location (locative). Interestingly, such asymmetries may
correlate with certain types of landmark, as in the case of toponyms or of
animate entities. Even though these issues have been focused upon both in
typological and psycholinguistic research, they remain largely open. The
papers in this collection aim to show that a diachronic approach may shed
light on the way in which asymmetries in the space domain come about over
time, thus contributing to the clarification of synchronically puzzling facts.
