Formalizing a Unique Space-Time Grammatical Mapping in a North American Indigenous Language Family (Short Paper) Ashrafuzzaman, Zahur linguistics syntax semantics cognitive science spatial cognition Indigenous language time temporal mapping The Na-Dene language family uses a system of verbal prefixes to indicate spatial orientation. This same system is generalized to express aspectual (temporal) meaning. I formalize the semantics of these prefixes as they relate to both time and space, arguing that this line of inquiry is a useful basis for interdiscplinary cognitive science focusing on the intersection of spatial and linguistic cognition.
