Abstract

The space (or domain) types that are conceptually dependent on other entities include metaphorical locations, relational terms (such as X's left/right side; X's dreams, etc.), activity domains, and certain other types. In the following discussion these are referred to as bound spaces, since they are conceptually dependent on other entities and receive their semantic interpretation in relation to those entities. This feature distinguishes them from prototypical autonomous or unbound spaces.
