Spatial adpositions

import Linglib.Syntax.Category.Adposition.Spatial · namespace Adposition

A theory refines a spatial Adposition by decomposing its relation into an axial part, a localization and the shape of its path, as Svenonius does in the cartographic sequence. The shape is one of Pantcheva's eight, Spatial.Path.Shape, or none for a locative reading, and the localization is Spatial.Localization, the vocabulary spatial cases decompose into as well. The axial parts are what case morphology lacks, a flat paradigm rather than a ranked containment.
