متن کاملVarious Views on Spatial Prepositions
which the primary object is located the reference object. In order to use projective prepositions, the speaker has to establish a reference frame (that is, an orientation) that determines the direction in which the primary object is located in relation to the reference object. The reference frame can be established in different ways. One way is to use the intrinsic orientation of the reference ...
متن کاملSpatial Prepositions and Vague Quantifiers: Implementing the Functional Geometric Framework
There is much empirical evidence showing that factors other than the relative positions of objects in Euclidean space are important in the comprehension of a wide range of spatial prepositions in English and other languages. We first the overview the functional geometric framework (Coventry & Garrod, 2004) which puts “what” and “where” information together to underpin the situation specific mea...
