This book investigates the semantics of spatialdeixis (e.g., this and that) from a cross-linguisticpoint of view. The objectives are 1) to revealparameters which determine spatial deictic usage, 2)to compare parameters among languages, and 3) toinvestigate parameter dominance. The author lookedinto more than 400 languages and clarified parametersthat have not been fully understood in previousstudies. Parameters listed in this book provide anoverview of the meanings of spatial deixis inlanguages of the world. The penetrating analyses ofspatial deixis provide the better understanding ofinteraction between perception and language.------------------------------------------------This work is a superb analysis of the overall systemfor spatial deixis across languages. It arrays withina definitive framework the conceptual parameterscriterial to the distinctions marked by spatiallydeictic forms. It includes both typological anduniversal findings based on both qualitative andquantitative elicitation procedures.---Leonard Talmy
