AB  - Judgment and thinking about power, a universal form of human sociality, is intimately tied to spatial cues: Nonverbal communication, cultural produc-tion of power symbols, and metaphors of power all make use of the vertical spatial  dimension.  We  argue  that  this  overlap  is  due  to  a  grounding  of  the  concept  of  power  in  spatial  thought.  Evidence  confirming  this  proposition  can  be  found  in  experiments  showing  the  impact  of  highly  schematized  spatial cues on judgments of power. We will discuss how semantic network theories,  embodied  theories  of  cognition,  and  conceptual  metaphor  theory  fare  in  explaining  and  predicting  the  combined  evidence  on  nonverbal  be-havior, cultural production, and metaphors. In particular, we will ask what role language in the form of metaphors plays for our understanding of pow-er as size and elevation: Whether it is causal, or mainly an outcome of other processes that are not based on language.
