Marquesan, an endangered Polynesian language, is remarkable because its speakers use a spatial orientation system based on local landmarks in the environment to describe spatial relations even in micro-level space. This volume is an empirical analysis of the verbal forms and means of spatial reference and the conception of space in this language.
