Three profiles of social inclusion were identified …

How Nouns and Prepositions Fit Together
Sentences involving a directional preposition and 2 nouns (e.g., "The dog is under the table") were sampled from 1 corpus in Spanish and 1 in German. Several sensory-motor features of the entities denoted by the nouns (animacy, countability, solidity, etc.) were coded. These features were then submitted to analyses using pairs of prepositions as binary dependent variables (e.g., above vs. below). In both languages, nouns naming objects with parti…
