摘要：
This paper describes and analyzes topological space and frames of reference in the Qiang language (Tibeto-Burman; Sichuan Province, China) within the framework of Levinson (2003) and Levinson & Wilkins (2006b). Locative postpositions form a three-way division of space, and locative-existential verbs reflect animacy and the relationship figure and ground. Unlike Chinese and English, Qiang frames of reference are not absolute, but relative to geographical features (e.g. mountain, ravine, river) and culture elements.
