Point of View and the Semantics of Spatial Expressions in Mushunguli and English
This article, based on original fieldwork, presents an analysis of locative morphemes in the Bantu language Mushunguli (Somalia). This is the first formal analysis of locatives in any Bantu language. The Mushunguli data motivate the claim that points of view, abstract entities consisting of a location and an orientation, are arguments of some spatial expressions. Incorporating such points of view in analyses of the meanings of English spatial exp…
Anchored to what? An anaphoric approach to frames of reference
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief exceprt:In this paper I argue that projective spatial expressions are anaphoric. I demonstrate that an anaphoric account makes better empirical predictions for projective spatial expressions in English. I then show that the anaphoric approach can be extended to account for a different type of spatial anchoring found in the meanings of non-projective spatial expres-sions in the Bantu language Mushunguli (Som…
