This chapter recounts how the preposition in dropped out of use during Old English (OE) times, its meaning being added to that of on. It discusses the resultant ambiguity of on that was resolved in Middle English when innan ‘inside’ reduced its form to just in /in/ and enlarged its meaning to ‘in’, as on contracted its meaning to just ‘on’.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2005
Previous work suggested that elongation, horizontal area, and the boundary material might influence impressions of enclosure. This article describes an experiment in which these three factors were crossed. Ratings of open/enclosed by 15 respondents on 16 plazas indicated that the elongation ratio (range: 1:1 up to 1:1.8) had the ...

Abstract Enclosure has long been linked to industrialization as part of a series of material and technical changes in farming which increased supply, enabling industrial development. This chapter argues that we need to move beyond a consideration of supply-and-demand and to see enclosure as a more-than-material process. Through enclosure,

PERMEABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENCLOSURE
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2003Theories by J. J. Gibson and H. Hediger suggest that environmental enclosure is important. Re-examination of their work suggests that judged degree of enclosure might be influenced by permeability of spatial regions. This study reports effects on judgments of enclosure by permeability and two other factors, horizontal size of rooms and heights of walls.

On Optimal Enclosure and Optimal Timing of Enclosure*
Economic Record, 1994This paper demonstrates that the enforcement of property rights by enclosing properties under common access is, in general, socially suboptimal: the timing of enclosure may be inappropriate, causing inefficiency. It is argued that the first fundamental theorem of welfare economics applies for a given collection of production sets, while enclosure ...
