Orientati<strong>on</strong>s and dimensi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
• Accord<strong>in</strong>g to Nikanne 2003, orientati<strong>on</strong>s and<br />
dimensi<strong>on</strong>s are related to each other.<br />
• In the study <strong>of</strong> F<strong>in</strong>nish postpositi<strong>on</strong>s, it turned out that<br />
the vertical c<strong>on</strong>cepts (ylä- ’up’, ala- ’down’) are always<br />
vertical.<br />
• Other c<strong>on</strong>cepts (ete- ’<strong>in</strong>-fr<strong>on</strong>t-<strong>of</strong>’, taka- ’beh<strong>in</strong>d’, sivu-<br />
’side’) are more related to directi<strong>on</strong>ality and dimensi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
than orientati<strong>on</strong>s.
