Specifically, the book aims to interconnect the following research areas: Language, space, and geography Grammar, space, and cognition Language and interactional spaces The contributions in this book cover geographical language variation within and across languages, language use in stationary and mobile interactional spaces, computer-mediated communication, and spatial reasoning across languages. This range of issues showcases the thematic and methodological breadth of research on language and space. In order to identify interconnections, the respective contributions are accompanied by commentaries that highlight common threads UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110312027 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110312027 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110312027/original ER -
