    Author : Simon Dobnik; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; situated interaction; spatial descriptions; language and perception; perceptual grounding; dialogue; natural language semantics; machine learning;

    Abstract : The meaning of spatial words can only be evaluated by establishing a reference to the properties of the environment in which the word is used.
