The publication of Robert MacLaury's C%r and Cognition in Mesoamerica: Constructing Categories as Vantages establishes vantage theory-the theory about points of view-as an important player on the linguistics stage. CCM is of interest to anyone concerned with perception, categorization, or naming, and that will include anthropologists, cognitive linguists, semanticists, philosophers, psychologists, and perhaps AI developers. The theory was constructed to explain aspects of color naming and mapping. During and after the Mesoamerican Color Survey, I combined an improved use of the Munsell instrument with systematic observation, other people's findings and theories, and fifteen years of thinking about what I saw native consultants do and say during interviews. The results support my conclusion, which separates into three levels of analysis: the observations by themselves, the theory I devised to account for them comprehensively, and broader implications of the theory for a science of cognition.
