In what ways are language cognition and perception interrelated? Do they influence each other? This book casts a fresh light on these questions by putting individual speakers' cognitive contexts i.e. their usage-preferences and entrenched patterns of linguistic knowledge into the focus of investigation. It presents findings from original experimental research on spatial language use which indicate that these individual-specific factors indeed play a central role in determining whether or not differences in the current and or habitual linguistic behaviour of speakers of German and English are systematically correlated with differences in non-linguistic behaviour (visual attention allocation to and memory for spatial referent scenes). These findings form the basis of a new speaker-focused usage-based model of linguistic relativity which defines language-perception cognition effects as a phenomenon which primarily occurs within individual speakers rather than between speakers or speech communities.
