Book synopsis

There are two main approaches to the study of spatial§reference. The universal conceptual categories or UCC§claims that the concepts support and inclusion are§universal in spatial reference. The universal§tendencies or UT, however, proposes that the concept§attachment also makes a significant contribution to§spatial reference. §This book, unlike the two approaches, provides a§different perspective in relation with the concepts§relevant to specify the spatial relations. Rongga is§unique since it prioritizes the concept functional§relations over locative relations in describing the§spatial relations between objects. When the natural §function is present the relation is functional.§However, the relation between objects becomes§locative when the natural function is absent. §This book should be useful for Linguistics students§or researchers who are interested in semantic§typology. Since the book also discusses the meanings§of locative prepositions across languages it§should also be useful for anyone who is interested in§translation.
