Example text
In fact, these mechanisms are so general that one may claim that they are universal. Beyond the meaning of individual grams, there is the question of the relation among spatial grams and whether there exists structure which defines a semantic domain of spatial grams. In previous sections we discus sed various situations of locating entities and we saw that some of them are related. The question is whether spatial grams are related to each other in a structured way that reflects the relation among situations as they are experienced, or whether they are related in an arbitrary way.
The path, however, may be further specified to describe particular move ments. 2 Orienting movements with respect to path Paths are courses that moving entities follow from the beginning of their movement until its end. They are interesting because they reflect the way in which we interact with entities while we perform a specific movement and 28 Chapter 1 the experience we extract from this interaction. We describe path with ref erence to Landmarks and their properties. 3, I discus sed the role of the contours and shape of objects functioning as LMS in the specification of the location of TRS, and I have claimed that such descrip tions are based on and derived by implication from our experience with movement following the contours of such objects.
Since the objects that we typically interact with are all three-dimensional, we do not really want to claim that we experience them as two-dimensional shapes. 10 Since we perceive the shape of objects not only visually but also through tactile perception, it seems intuitively more satisfying to claim that the kind of information we retain has a direct connection to the way we experience objects through our various perceptual channels. If we accept this assumption, then we can further assume that we have an idea of the shape of objects, in addition to seeing them and touching them, by having moved around and along their boundaries, actually or with our eyes.
