Abstract

This paper argues that the category P extends beyond adpositions to include prefixes, particles and cases expressing directions (paths) and locations (places) based on the strikingly similar forms and meanings of such elements. Focusing on Germanic, Slavic, and Finno-Ugric languages, we show that the traditional distinctions between these space-denoting categories emerge from the position of the lexical item in the syntactic structure.
