Oceania has traditionally
been the 'place' in which great debates about the human condition
have been started, conducted, and sometimes resolved. The
articles in this volume prove once more the vitality of the
research conducted in this geographically vast and culturally
varied area of the world. This book contributes to the investigation
of space as a knowledge domain, in particular to the linguistic,
mental and cultural representations of spatial relationships
in Oceania. It emphasises the significance and usefulness
of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural research, and cultural
area surveys. This volume is of interest not only to cultural
and linguistic anthropologists, but also to linguists and
ognitive psychologists, and to scholars and students of Oceania.
