| Summary of thesis | My PhD project will investigate the vocabulary of spatial terms from Old to Early Modern English focusing on how these words were used to establish orientation by setting boundaries and points of reference, influencing the human conceptualization and perception of space, and how their evolution might reflect changing perceptions of the world over time. |
