Using the Trajector-Landmark relation developed in cognitive grammar, it is shown that the preposition um presuppose a Landmark with two nonidentical points that are maximallly far apart. The same relation can be applied to nonlocative uses of preposition as well as to um as a particle on verbs. In terms of role and reference grammar um functions as one two operators, each distinguished by its position in the topology of the sentence and its stress
