A coding system for spatial relational reference

A coding System is presented for the semantic description of natural language expressions referring to spatial relations. The coding system has been developed with the principal (but not exclusive) aim of conducting crossHnguistic analyses of spatial language acquisition and development. Theoretical and methodological problems attendant upon the analysis of spatial relational meaning are addressed. The coding system is described and its use is illustrated. A reformulation is proposed of the traditional distinction between sense and reference in terms ofa notion of "meaning äs mapping". The specific research questions which the coding system is designed to address are outlined.
