metadata.value: This article draws on data from a parallel corpus (the Oslo Multilingual Corpus) to
  explore differences in how the cognate Norwegian and German adverbs her/hier ‘here’
  (seemingly highly similar in meaning) are used as deictic space builders in discourse.
  The aim of the presented study is to propose some more general cognitive mechanisms that may underlie such differences, in the languages that are closely related. The
  linguistic material is considered within the framework of cognitive grammar and is
  linked to recent knowledge on bilingual cognition as represented in translation. By
  carefully examining both the sources and translations of these adverbs in the corpus
  of translations, we identify different patterns of construal in the languages compared.
  The main difference found in setting up the deictic space pertains to the construction
  of the coordinate system preferred in Norwegian and German — a more egocentric one
  in the former, and one more subjective and focused on the object of conceptualization
  in the latter. Thus, close scrutiny of how the two cognates behave in translation helps
  us to confirm that differences in imagery in two languages may be based on different
  preferred vantage points, resulting in some clear conceptualization patterns on a lower level, and that imagery is subject to choice of particular cultures. Additionally, it
  is demonstrated that Norwegian seems less space-oriented than German, which to a
  greater extent prefers detailed spatial indication within discourse, and that the German
  hier may be less proximal than the proximal her.
