The volume demonstrates how this has led to an astonishing intertwining of spatial and social thought. For the first time, research on language comprehension, metaphors, priming, spatial perception, face perception, art history and other fields is brought together to provide an integrative view. This overview confirms that often, metaphors reveal a deeper truth about how our mind uses spatial information to represent social concepts. Yet, the evidence also goes beyond this insight, showing for instance how flexible our mind operates with spatial metaphors, how the peculiarities of our bodies determine the way we assign meaning to space, and how the asymmetry of our brain influences spatial and face perception. Finally, it is revealed that also how we write language - from left to right or from right to left - shapes how we perceive, interpret, and produce horizontal movement and order. The evidence ranges from linguistics to social and spatial perception to neuropsychology, seamlessly integrating such diverse findings as speed in word comprehension, children's depictions of abstract concepts, estimates of the steepness of hills, and archival research on how often Homer Simpson is depicted left or right of Marge. The chapters in this book offer a topology of social cognition and explore the pivotal role language plays in creating links between spatial and social thought. 410 0$aApplications of cognitive linguistics ;$v18. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aCognitive grammar$xSocial aspects 606 $aPsycholinguistics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aCognitive grammar$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 676 $a304.2/3 686 $aES 146$2rvk 701 $aSchubert$b Thomas W.$f1972-$01039138 701 $aMaass$b Anne$01039139 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463474303321 996 $aSpatial dimensions of social thought$92461162 997 $aUNINA
