The effect of language and spatial information on the perception of time in Mandarin and English speakers
bilinguals English Mandarin space time
2019/10/10
Existing studies suggest that English speakers conceptualize time on both the sagittal and transverse axes (Casasanto & Jasmin, 2012), whereas Mandarin speakers conceptualize time on both the sagittal...
Effects of delayed language exposure on spatial language acquisition by signing children and adults
sign language late acquisition spatial relations
2017/8/30
Deaf children born to hearing parents are exposed to language input quite late, which has long-lasting effects on language production. Previous studies with deaf individuals mostly focused on linguist...
Spatial Representation of Ordinal Information
SNARC effect spatial representation ordinal sequences Chinese color words numerical cognition

Right hand responds faster than left hand when shown larger numbers and vice-versa when shown smaller numbers (the SNARC effect). Accumulating evidence suggests that the SNARC effect may not be exclus...
This and That Revisited:A Social and Multimodal Approach to Spatial Demonstratives
referential communication language space demonstratives gesture pointing
2016/5/3
As humans, we have the capacity to refer to the things in the world around us. In everyday spoken communication, we often use words to describe intended referents (such as objects, people, and events)...
A word may have the identical conventional meaning in different descriptions and yet be taken as denoting very different things. The proposal we tested is that the denotation of such a word is what th...
Electrophysiological evidence for the role of shared space in online comprehension of spatial demonstratives
Multimodal reference Social space Spatial deixis Demonstratives ERPs
2015/5/13
A fundamental property of language is that it can be used to refer to entities in the extralinguistic physical context of a conversation in order to establish a joint focus of attention on a referent....
Spatial metaphor in language can promote the development of cross-modal mappings in children
Spatial metaphor language can promote the development cross-modal mappings children
2015/5/6
Pitch is often described metaphorically: for example, Farsi and Turkish speakers use a ‘thickness’ metaphor (low sounds are ‘thick’ and high sounds are ‘thin’), while German and English speakers use a...
Spatial distance effects on incremental semantic interpretation of abstract sentences: Evidence from eye tracking
Abstract sentences Spatial distance Visual context Reading Eye tracking
2015/5/5
A large body of evidence has shown that visual context information can rapidly modulate language comprehension for concrete sentences and when it is mediated by a referential or a lexical-semantic lin...

This paper presents an overview of spatial deictic structures in Kata Kolok, a sign language which is indigenous to a Balinese village community. Sociolinguistic surveys and lexicographic comparisons ...
Spatial terms across languages support near-optimal communication: Evidence from Peruvian Amazonia, and computational analyses
Spatial terms semantic universals informative communication language and thought semantic maps
2015/4/27
Why do languages have the categories they do? It has been argued that spatial terms in the world’s languages reflect categories that support highly informative communication, and that this accounts fo...
Spatial congruity effects reveal metaphors, not markedness
metaphor polarity correspondence markedness musical pitch space
2015/4/27
Spatial congruity effects have often been interpreted as evidence for metaphorical thinking, but an alternative markedness-based account challenges this view. In two experiments, we directly compared ...
Reversing the Direction of Time: Does the Visibility of Spatial Representations of Time Shape Temporal Focus?
metaphor space-time mappings temporal focus language and thought
2015/4/24
While people around the world mentally represent time in terms of space, there is substantial cross-cultural variability regarding which temporal constructs are mapped onto which parts in space. Do pa...
Spatial language facilitates spatial cognition: Evidence from children who lack language input
Language and thought Spatial cognition Spatial language Deaf vs. Hearing Homesign
2015/4/24
Does spatial language influence how people think about space? To address this question, we observed children who did not know a conventional language, and tested their performance on nonlinguistic spa...
Specific to whose body? Perspective-taking and the spatial mapping of valence
body-specificity hypothesis handedness perspective taking space valence
2015/4/24
People tend to associate the abstract concepts of “good” and “bad” with their fluent and disfluent sides of space, as determined by their natural handedness or by experimental manipulation (Casasanto,...
Time does not flow without language: Spatial distance affects temporal duration regardless of movement or direction
Time perception Space Metaphor Embodied cognition Gesture
2015/4/24
Much evidence has suggested that people conceive of time as flowing directionally in transverse space (e.g., from left to right for English speakers). However, this phenomenon has never been tested in...
