The empirical spatial domains of Japanese and English demonstratives were determined. For 32 Japanese student speakers, the domain of the word “koko” was near the speaker, the domain of the word “soko” included both the place near the listener and the outer place of “koko, ” and the domain of the word “asoko” surrounded the “soko” domain. Moreover, the “soko” area increased with an increase of distance between a speaker and a listener, while the “koko” area did not. For 32 English student speakers, the domain of the word “here” surrounded the speaker and increased with an increase in the distance between the speaker and the listener. For both languages, sex difference had no effect on domain of demonstratives.
