In and on: investigating the functional geometry of spatial prepositions
Cognition, 1999Spatial prepositions such as in and on seem to denote semantically indeterminate spatial relations. This reflects, in part, the physical relationships between the objects in the scenes that they are used to portray. We argue that such physical relationships are best represented in terms of an inherently dynamic functional geometry which incorporates ...

Quantifying spatial prepositions
Proceedings of the 16th ACM SIGSPATIAL international conference on Advances in geographic information systems, 2008Many aspects of spatial language concerned with relationships between spatial entities are essentially vague. Current GIS technology provides very little support for dealing with this vagueness, partially because there is a lack of quantitative data and models for vague spatial relations.

Flexible semantic processing of spatial prepositions
Journal of Semantics, 1998This article presents two experiments investigating whether language users spontaneously apply semantic extension principles to novel usages, or whether they treat word meanings as discrete, rigidly defined entities. In Experiment I, readers made a timed decision on the correctness of a sentence.

Annotating Spatial Interpretations of German Prepositions
2011 IEEE Fifth International Conference on Semantic Computing, 2011Traditional approaches to prepositions classify preposition lexemes into different semantic classes like spatial, temporal or modal ones. In this paper we reconsider the so-called spatial prepositions and their sub classification. We propose a sense based classification of prepositions using traditional criteria to determine different classes of ...

A Cognitive Perspective on Spatial Prepositions
2022A Cognitive Perspective on Spatial Prepositions: Intertwining networks is devoted to the issue of the relation between language and thought approached from the perspective of spatial relations encoded by four equivalent spatial prepositions – English to, German zu, Polish do and Russian к.

Modelling English Spatial Preposition Detectors
2010In this paper we present five algorithms for the detection of spatial relationships within an image: above/below, adjacent to, occlusion, between, and close to.

Abstract Miller and Johnson-Laird's Language and Perception (1976) can be considered a starting point of the psychological and linguistic investigation into deictic and intrinsic spatial reference, i.e. into the use and the comprehension of spatial prepositions and their corresponding spatial concepts.

Qualitatively describing objects using spatial prepositions
[1993] Proceedings IEEE Workshop on Qualitative Vision, 2002The paper presents a framework for a system that describes objects in a qualitative fashion. A subset of spatial prepositions is chosen and an appropriate quantification is applied to each of them that capture their inherent qualitative properties. The quantifications use such object attributes as area, centers, and elongation properties.

Verb Semantics Affects the Interpretation of Spatial Prepositions
Spatial Cognition and Computation, 2010Abstract Spatial prepositions, more specifically projective prepositions, such as in front of or behind can be interpreted in different ways. Their interpretation depends on the spatial perspective taken as the basis for determining the reference frame's orientation.
