Alignment as the Basis for Successful Communication (2006, background): “There is also evidence that interlocutors directly align at least one specific aspect of their situation models, namely spatial reference frames (e.g., Levinson, 2003 ).”
Time After Time: The Psychological Reality of the Ego- and Time-Reference-Point Distinction in Metaphorical Construals of Time (2006, background): “For example, people can immediately and unerringly refer to the “front” side of a cube sliding along a flat surface (Clark, 1973; Fillmore, 1977/1997, 1982; Levinson, 2003; Núñez, 1999; see also results reported in Experiment 1 of this study).”
Cross-cultural variation of speech-accompanying gesture: A review (2009, methodology): “Gestures often iconically represent spatial concepts (McNeill, 1992; Rauscher, Krauss, & Chen, 1996), and spatial information is conceptualised and processed differently across cultures (e.g., Levinson, 2003; Levinson, Kita, Haun, & Rasch, 2002; Majid, Bowerman, Kita, Haun, & Levinson, 2004; Peder”
On the Human "Interaction Engine" (2020, background): “The great majority of gestures are intended to have directional veracity—no mere hand waving here (see Levinson 2003).”
Visual Spatial Reasoning (2022, background): “and therefore fundamental for a grounded theory of semantics (Levinson, 2003).”
Language‐dependent memory in bilingual learning (2006, background): “Levinson (2003) writes, ‘ . . . given the architecture of the [cognitive] system, once one puts serious semantic constraints on the output, the rest of the systemwill be forced to support, code, and operate on those features’ (p. 301).”
The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “…Differences in the linguistic coding of, for example, space can be shown to correlate with differences in the non-linguistic conceptual coding (Levinson 2003; Levinson & Wilkins 2006; Majid et al. 2004), suggesting that linguistic distinctions affect how we think (see also Boroditsky 2001;…”
Towards a Visual Turing Challenge (2014, methodology): “Depending on the cultur al bias and the context, we may use object-centric or observer-centric or even world-centric frames of reference [45].”
Event categorisation and language: A cross-linguistic study of motion (2010, background): “For instance, in open-ended tasks where participants are asked to decide which two spatial arrays are ‘the same’, people’s choices tend to align with the preferred way of encoding space in their linguistic community (e.g., X is to the left of Y vs. X is to the north of Y; Levinson, 2003).”
