SPATIAL COGNITION: THE PERSPECTIVE FROM THEORETICAL SEMANTICS
Commentary on Bryant on Space

Abstract

Bryant's ideas represent a promising direction for research if a real collaboration among specialists on linguistic semantics, human perception, and mental representation will result. However, I have several concerns about the links proposed between perceptual and linguistic representations as well as those concerned with representations of space and location. My hope is that serious progress will be made and that future research should include the possibility that the most deeply entrenched of our linguistic tools are also relevant to the issue of the representation of space.
