Over the past two decades urban social life has undergone a rapid and pervasive geocoding, becoming mediated, augmented and anticipated by location-sensitive technologies and services that generate and utilise big, personal, locative data. The production of these data has prompted the development of exploratory data-driven computing experiments that seek to find ways to extract value and insigh...

The last two decades have seen remarkable development in compositional modeltheoretic semantics of natural language. The idea that natural language expressions can be directly interpreted in the model of discourse has gained significant support in various domains. It led to a better understanding of inference in linguistics with close relation to syntax, helped to characterize linguistically re...

This paper investigates the syntax and semantics of two verbal suffixes in Indonesian. The are suffix –kan -i. Many linguists have studied -kan, whereas –i got less attention. discusses conjunction with –i. marks a causative verb, locative verb.

Although direction plays an important role in the semantics of prepositions and verbs, there are not many precise and systematic treatments of this notion. This article offers a characterization and typology of directionality, based on two algebraic properties of spatial paths: cumulativity and reversability. This typology makes clear how directionality relates to the aspectual property of teli...

This paper is an investigation on the categorial status of locative and temporal WHs. We argue, based on empirical data, for the null P hypothesis proposed by Huang (1982), and against the proposal of Murasugi and Saito (1992) that when and where are sentential arguments. We suggest that the problem raised in Murasugi and Saito (1992) for the null P analysis can be solved by the null P incorpor...
