Michelle Sheehan; Anna D. Havinga; Jonathan R. Kasstan; Sascha Stollhans; Alice Corr; Peter Gillman – British Educational Research Journal, 2024

In previous work, we have argued that this is an unfortunate omission not only because…

Speakers of many languages prefer allocentric frames of reference (FoRs) when talking about small-scale space, using words like "east" or "downhill." Ethnographic work has suggested that this preference is also reflected in how such speakers gesture. Here, we investigate this possibility with a field experiment in Juchitán,…
