FLP: FUNCTIONS GENERATING LOCATIONS
Definition: The functions labelled FLP generate locations from objects. They are sub-grouped as follows:
FLIP - semantic representatives of prepositions specifying the inner volume of an object or the attachment to its surface; used with words: at, on, in.
FLOP - semantic representatives of prepositions specifying the outer world of an object; used with words: offside, outside, near, this side, opposite, behind, beyond, left, beside, north, above east, right, south, over, around, under, underneath, near, before, west, between
FLAP - semantic representatives of prepositions specifying paths by means of given objects; used with words: through, along, alongside, via.
e.g.
“The grid is located between the anode and cathode.”
“Mary is flying via Singapore to Australia.”
