Animacy and spatial cases
Typological tendencies, and the case of Basque
In the expression of spatial relationships, it is cross-linguistically common that human or animate nouns have particularities that distinguish them from other nouns. After presenting cross-linguistic data illustrating some tendencies observed in the behavior of human or animate nouns in spatial orienter function, this paper examines the contribution of Basque data to this question.
