Raumkonstitution durch Sprache

The study examines the linguistic devices used in English texts to constitute an imagined space before the reader's “inner eye.” For this, it has recourse to text types such as travel guides or factual geographical texts wnich describe visually perceptible scenarios. The focus is on the sequence in which the elements of the space are introduced, and from this a classification is derived of different ways in which the reader’s eye is led. On this basis, the relevant effects and functions are analysed of different strategies for constituting space.
