This article deals with the expression of spatial relations in Ingush. The magnitude of the subject entailed the restriction of the field of application to the study of grammatical units and deictic lexemes used to express localization, displacements and positions. Various systems of spatial representations are thus revealed, which make a contribution to typological studies already undertaken on this subject.
The first part of this article presents the field research, and especially the original protocol developed from the studies of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics research group on cognitive anthropology in order to obtain, in context, utterances focused on spatial relations.
