Abstract

Some hypothesis, in terms of cognitive and functional explanations, are formulated to understand the possible spatial expressions in question based on a typology of how the languages
of the world encode the meaning of location, origin and goal of a motion. Some possible consequences for describing the spatial semantics of languages are searched as well.
