This paper describes spatial frames of reference (FoRs) preferences among speakers of Seri, a language isolate of Sonora, Mexico. Seri speakers have various options when it comes to FoR selection in discourse, but tend to favor object-centered and direct FoRs. There is also noticeable speaker variation in terms of FoR preferences, especially as it pertains to landmark- based FoRs, which are favored by only some speakers, and the scarce use of absolute FoRs, which seems to be determined by speaker age.
