Introduction - language and the cognitive constructural of space, Martin Putz. Part 1 A space in language: pointing, exis and distance; conceptualizing space in prepositions and morphology. Part 2 Space as a cultural artifact: can langauge use cope with space?; variability in the conceptualization of space. Space as a bridge to other conceptuated domains: from one meaning to another; from space to time, events and beyond. Part 4 Space as an organizing principle: discourse as space; abstracts words as space.
