最近，新的作品出现或引起我的注意，这使得我有必要重新思考早期作品的大部分内容。我在这里特别指的是 O’Keefe (1996, 2003)、Svenonius (2006) 和 Zwarts (2003, 2005)。本文的新颖之处在于，除了表达的含义之外，它还使用了方面，即我们周围空间的编码。我的主要兴趣是找到方位表达中涉及的各个部分的含义的确切性质，以及它们如何共同形成整体含义。我要说的大部分内容并不是那么新鲜。然而，在我看来，语义领域工作和语言理论（特别是形式语义学）之间几乎没有相互作用。例如，有关于语言方向的研究（参见文集（van der Zee和Slack，2003）、（Senft，1997）、（Bennardo，2002）、（Levin-son和Wilkins，2006）以及专着（Levinson，2003）等），但形式语义学似乎并未受到影响。我试图用传统（=蒙塔古风格）形式语义来重新表述其他作品中所说的内容，以弥合这一差距。在此过程中，我还希望能够更紧密地把握位置表达式所引发的概念问题。2。本地 PP 的结构。传统上认为方位介词的结构如下（参见 Jackendoff (1983)）：(1) [P
Recently,new work has appeared or come to my awareness that has made it neces-sary to rethink large parts of the earlier work. I am referring here especiallyto O’Keefe (1996, 2003), Svenonius (2006), and Zwarts (2003, 2005). Thenovelty of the present paper is that it uses in addition to the meaning of anexpression also the aspect, which is an encoding of the space surrounding us.My main interest is in finding the exact nature of meanings of the vari-ous parts involved in a locative expressions and how they work together toform the overall meaning. Much of what I am going to say is not all thatnew. However, it seems to me that there has been little interaction between—especially—semantic field work and linguistic theory, notably formal seman-tics. For example, there are studies on direction in language (see the collec-tions (van der Zee and Slack, 2003), (Senft, 1997), (Bennardo, 2002), (Levin-son and Wilkins, 2006), and the monograph (Levinson, 2003) among others),yet formal semantics seems to be untouched by it. I am trying to rephrasewhat has been said in other work in terms of conventional (= Montague style)formal semantics in order to bridge this gap. In doing so, I also wish to get atighter grip on the conceptual issues raised by expressions for location.2. The structure of Local PPs. The structure of locative PPs is traditionallythought to be as follows (see Jackendoff (1983)):(1) [P
