Levinson, 2003, Cambridge University Press, pour Cercles, Revue pluridisciplinaire du monde anglophone, ISSN: 1292-8968Levinson's book aims to show how language affects even a core cognitive domain such as spatial thinking. A domain that is regarded in most cognitive literature as possibly the strongest candidate for a cognitive universal. Having reviewed Western spatial thinking, Levinson argues that there is a variety in spatial cognition just as there is a variety of languages. He presents a typology of cognitive styles based on former work on more than forty little-studied languages, and discusses different spatial studies on topics such as spatial navigation or gestures. In the seventh and final c...
