Functional Features in Language and Space: Insights from Perception, Categorization, and Development

The descriptions are different yet paraphrase-similar; looks like each is pulled from a different publisher page:

https://oxford.universitypressscholar...
https://global.oup.com/academic/produ...

I don’t have an opinion on which to prefer (they’re both rather bland).

16311498 is the only variant with both editors specified and marked (Editor), matching the book cover; I’d propose that the merged webpage have editors specified this way as well.

Other similar requests to come, which I’ll put in separate posts; thanks in advance!

John (john25148) | 549 comments The Construal of Spatial Meaning: Windows Into Conceptual Space. Edited by Carita Paradis, Jean Hudson, Ulf Magnusson
Construal of Spatial Meaning: Windows Into Conceptual Space

Again, I’d propose that on the combined webpage the three editors each be labeled (Editor), to match the book cover. (Currently 17573282 puts the editors in the title, 18538591 has editors formatted cleanly but is missing one, and 18538591’s alternate edition 23021911 lists all three but does not add (Editor) labels.)

Representing Direction in Language and Space

I’d propose that on the combined webpage both Emile van der Zee and Jon Slack appear with the (Editor) tag, to match the book cover.

Motion Encoding in Language and Space

I’d propose that on the combined webpage the two editors each be labeled (Editor), to match the book cover.

John (john25148) | 549 comments The Spatial Foundations of Cognition and Language
The Spatial Foundations of Cognition and Language: Thinking Through Space
The Spatial Foundations of Cognition and Language: Thinking Through Space

For some reason all three webpages show the wrong title. Per the cover, and per the publisher, the title is The Spatial Foundations of Language and Cognition:

https://oxford.universitypressscholar...

Again, I’d propose that on the combined webpage the three editors each be labeled (Editor), to match the book cover.

Modality: Studies in Form and Function

Currently 9270186 lists both editors, while 3213267 does not.

Word Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation: Algorithms and Applications
Word Sense Disambiguation: Algorithms and Applications

All four of these webpages list authors/editors differently. Marking both Eneko Agirre and Philip Edmonds as editors would match the cover; 16790336 does this but also includes the misspelled ‘Aneko Agirre’.

The Underspecification of Past Participles: On the Identity of Passive and Perfect(ive) Participles
The Underspecification of Past Participles: On the Identity of Passive and Perfect(ive) Participles

All three editions have a German description, but it’s not the description for the book, just a generic description of the series. The publisher’s site notes that the book is in English, and provides a description; and at least for the hardcover and paperback editions, the publisher and Goodreads ISBNs match:

https://www.degruyter.com/document/do...

I’d propose using the publisher’s English description for the hardcover and paperback editions. As for the ebook edition, I suppose the English description might work, but at least the German description ought to be removed.

John (john25148) | 549 comments Scambling and Exercises
Scrambling and Barriers

As cover pic shows, 5245705’s title is incorrect. Publisher’s entry to confirm:

https://benjamins.com/catalog/la.5

John (john25148) | 549 comments Scalarity and Verbal Prefixes
Scalarity in the Verbal Domain: The Case of Verbal Prefixation in Russian

The publisher’s site confirms Scalarity in the Verbal Domain: The Case of Verbal Prefixation in Russian as the title; the ISBNs of the Goodreads paperback and hardcover match the publisher’s listings:
