Abstract:

Many human experiences are interpreted with the help of spatial concepts,
which is why spatial language is prevalent in every aspect of human life.
However, to what extent is spatial language connected to spatial
conceptualization? Has this conceptualization altered due to global
communication and new technologies, becoming more similar across languages?
This book investigates the similarities and differences between conceptual and
morphological spatial categories in three different languages: namely,
Hungarian, Croatian and English. To this end, a set of concepts of nine basic
spatial expressions involving the prepositions in, on and at is analyzed both
morphologically and psycholinguistically, in order to shed light on their
mutual relationship in language and in the mind. The research is presented in
a clear and simple manner, making the book accessible to students of
linguistics and language enthusiasts, and providing a concise introduction to
the basic tenets of various approaches to spatial language.
