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 expressions is shown to improve their empirical predictions.
