The picture contrasts Classic Mayan inscriptions: left, diplomatic phrases; right, non-diplomatic ones. It shows how the old preposition tä (in/at/with) gave way to the newer ti—with ti clustering in diplomacy and tä lingering in non-diplomatic use. Politics affected grammar. doi.org/10.25189/267...

Why do identical scenes take different prepositions? In Portuguese (BR), one “em” covers picture on a wall and apple on a plate; Italian splits them. What’s the shared logic? Michele I. Feist tests this across languages. doi.org/10.25189/267...

We all share the same world, but languages don’t always describe it the same way. Michele Feist shows that when people talk about simple scenes—like a cup on a table—they rely on a few basic ideas (touching, inside, above), yet each language combines them differently. doi.org/10.25189/267...
