Spatial communication systems across languages reflect universal action constraints
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-30)The extent to which languages share properties reflecting the non-linguistic constraints of the speakers who speak them is key to the debate regarding the relationship between language and cognition.
