Language and the moulding of space

‘Space’ has acquired a quite astonishing presence as a category of analysis within the academic world during the past number of years, well beyond the discipline of Geography. Studies that have examined the interrelationship between language and space have, however, not been as frequent. This interdisciplinary volume brings together academics from Finland, Germany, Greece and Ireland to investigate the relationship between language and space in a number of different contexts. The authors, dealing with such diverse topics as the history of place name methodologies, the renegotiation of nomenclature and the spatial philosophy of Michel Serres, view the relationship between language and space in a multifaceted fashion that allows for cross-disciplinary dialogue and the discovery of new avenues of approach. This book is only available at amazon. More Information on the website: http://spaceandlanguage. meine-verlag. de
