How can spatial language be learned? Forbus, Kenneth D. Sketch understanding analogy spatial language spatial reasoning How languages are learned is one of the deepest mysteries of cognitive science. This question can be addressed from multiple perspectives. This position paper considers two of them: (1) How do people learn spatial language? (2) Given the wide range of spatial terms in language, how might we bootstrap the linguistic capabilities of intelligent systems that need spatial language to achieve wide and accurate coverage? We discuss each question in turn. Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik Kenneth D.
