Description
When we speak about the spatial locations of objects are we simply saying where they are, or are we also pointing to something about their function? This is the question explored in Saying, Seeing and Acting. Coventry and Garrod aim to account not only for our theoretical comprehension of spatial relations but also for our ability to interact competently with the world of spatially related objects. This book demonstrates how many everyday uses of spatial prepositions can be ambiguous in spatial terms and yet meaningful in terms of an object's function.
