On the spatial uses of prepositions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1980 At first glance, the spatial uses of prepositions seem to constitute a good semantic domain for a computational approach. One expects such uses will refer more or less strictly to a closed, explicit, and precise chunk of world knowledge. Such an attitude is expressed in the following statement:"Given descriptions of the shape of two objects, given ...

Standpoint semantics for polysemy in spatial prepositions
Journal of Logic and Computation, 2020 AbstractIn this paper, we present a formalism for handling polysemy in spatial expressions based on supervaluation semantics called standpoint semantics for polysemy (SSP). The goal of this formalism is, given a prepositional phrase, to define its possible spatial interpretations.
