ABSTRACT
Thus far we have considered in and on and projective terms, such as over and in front of. However, other spatial prepositions have received less detailed treatment in the literature. Among these are proximity terms, like near, far, and at, which provide information about the relative distance between objects without specifying a direction, and expressions like between, which don’t easily fall into the categories of topological, projective, or proximity terms. We first consider proximity terms and then consider the specific case of between.
