Spatial Demonstratives and Perspective Taking in English and Japanese

Cognitive Science, Volume 50, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract There is much debate regarding the extent to which languages express the same spatial parameters or whether spatial communication is essentially diverse. In this paper, we explore “perspective taking” in spatial demonstrative systems as a means of exploring between and within language variation.

Eesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2021
Kokkuvõte. Sõnaliigiliselt on kaassõnade ja määrsõnade klass võrdlemisi erinevad. Kaassõnu on keeles suhteliselt väike ja piiratud hulk, neid tekib aja jooksul küll juurde, kuid kaassõnaks grammatiseerumine muudest sõnaliikidest on pikem protsess ...

The evolutionary psychology of syntax

Mind &Language, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 344-364, September 2025.
Linguists often characterize syntax in terms of combinatorial rules. But there is also a pragmatics to syntax in which communicators choose and tailor syntactic constructions for different communicative contexts. Great apes exposed to “language” combine elements creatively, but they show no skills in the pragmatics of syntax.

Gesture Reduces Mapping Difficulties in the Development of Spatial Language Depending on the Complexity of Spatial Relations

Cognitive Science, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract In spoken languages, children acquire locative terms in a cross‐linguistically stable order. Terms similar in meaning to in and on emerge earlier than those similar to front and behind, followed by left and right. This order has been attributed to the complexity of the relations expressed by different locative terms.
